Leadership: It's a Marathon Not a Sprint

Gordon’s new book “Leadership: It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint”, ($23.99) Panoma Panoma Press), explains that success that is quickly achieved is easily lost and reveals the steps to take to achieve maintainable success.

With excellent Global and International experience and having multi sector knowledge including FMCG, logistics, utilities, telecoms, aviation, banking and finance, Gordon wanted to share what he has learnt over the past 20 years in the form of a book.

Gordon says,

“I think I have an interesting perspective, not necessarily unique, but not one that people can benefit from. My approach – simplicity, transparency and focus - is a very practical one, which allows others to easily invest in the process, and consequently deliver outstanding results. My writing style it simple, clear and open, easy to follow, easy to understand, and most importantly easy to implement.”

“I truly believe that Simplicity, Transparency and Focus are the keys to success, we often overlook the simple approach, are focused on the wrong, or are not transparent enough about why we do things. In this book I show examples where I have used these approaches to turn around failing projects, under performing departments, and how at 52, fat, and unfit I got myself to run my first marathon.”
