In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them – each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

My life was far from normal. Sometimes I wish it was. From the streets of Glasgow to the hills of Skye. And that was just the beginning. Join me in my journey of early 80's Edinburgh. My Student Nurse days. The highs and lows of being a male Nurse. My days of being a local impresario and Record label owner. Pub singer and occasional actor. My loves, my losses. My travelling and working in other cities and other countries. Marrying a young Thai girl and becoming a father not once but thrice all in my mid-forties and early 50s. This is the story of the best and worst bits.

Are you an ambitious Area Manager who wants to get to Operations Director (OD) level? Are you an existing OD who wants to out-perform your competitive set? Are you a recruiter or developer of ODs who wants to accelerate their impact or performance? If so, this book – the first of its kind on this role – is a must-read book for you! Why? Firstly, it is packed with 31 Case Studies from twenty-seven CEOs, MDs and ODs from some of the UK's leading multi-site hospitality companies (including Stonegate Group, McDonalds, Caffe Nero, Mitchells and Butlers, Punch Pubs & Co, Greene King, Everards, St Austell, Whitbread, Parkdean Resorts, TGI Friday's, Marston's, Creams Cafes, Tesco Cafes, Hawthorn Leisure etc.) which will give you valuable insights into what the best ODs do!

Thirdly, it provides aspiring ODs and their developers with an integrated ‘Outstanding OD Model' and framework (explained in detail throughout the book) which can be used as a developmental route map. Written to take account of the changes wrought upon the hospitality sector by COVID-19, it is described by Simon Longbottom (CEO, Stonegate Group) as ‘a brilliant handbook and guide for ODs wishing to accelerate their impact and progression during these challenging times'.

This book is for the many men and women who find themselves in leadership roles, not necessarily at the top of their organisation-where a lot of the attention tends to go- but nevertheless responsible for orchestrating and coordinating the work of people. There have been many 'cookbooks' on leadership, academic treatises, case studies of successful leaders, and so forth, but this book tells leaders what most books don't tell them-that there are no easy recipes or models which actually work. Letters to a Leader addresses the problem of why 'pulling the levers' does not seem to work and of why it is often so difficult to 'get the message' through to people. Letters to a Leader places emphasis on the primacy of human interaction, and on the beneficial effects of an inclusive leadership style-liberating the leader from the burden of having to appear to know all the answers, and the risk of single-handedly making all the important decisions. Overall, the book challenges many of the conventional ideas about the way we think about organisations and about leadership. The book constitutes a guide to thoughtful and ethical leadership, and what it means to be emotionally intelligent.
