I am starting a campaign

Who Adairs Wins!

I am thinking of starting a campaign to push for a knighthood for John Adair.

In all my years in the leadership and management development field, I think he has, more than any other single ‘guru’, contributed the most widely-relevant, easy-to-understand and long-lasting prescriptive analysis of leadership and related skills.

I first got to know him whilst working on a leadership course with RAF Cranwell that was open to British companies and then we published a book he had co-written on Time Management (“The Concise Time Management and Personal Development”).

From that we went on to publish books by him on Communication and Presentation Skills and on Leadership. We were able to re-publish his classic study in leadership lessons from great leaders, entitled “Inspiring Leadership”.

He is a widely published author (not just by Thorogood) and I said to him once, “John – wouldn’t it be great to have the main points from all of your books – there were then over 30 of them – brought together in one volume?” He replied that “Yes, that’s a good idea. You know my work as well as anyone – why don’t you do it!” I agreed.

It was only when I was driving away that I realised what had happened. I had said yes to this weighty project delegated to me – he had displayed his superior leadership skills!!

It turned out to be a wonderful time for me – reading and assimilating all his extant work and turning in a concise guide to his ‘teachings’. The book came out as “The John Adair Handbook of Management and Leadership” and then in a version called “The Best of John Adair on Leadership and Management”.

I urge all managers and leaders to read John Adair. I have been helped immeasurably by knowing him, working with him, reading his books and using his concepts in my management life. You will benefit greatly from his books.

He deserves a knighthood if anybody does.
