Sanjay Gupta, CEO, English Helper Inc, Haryana, India
“This book described situations that are very familiar to me BUT…. gave me the tools to deal with them and the understanding of why they’d happened.”

“From reading this book and past experience of working with Mandy you learn there is never enough time to focus on what is strategic and important, unless you embed leading teams into how you work. Leaders reading this book will gain valuable insights into the small things that make a difference when leading teams to success.”
Neal Watkins, Chief Product Officer and Executive Board Director, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, UK
“This book is really, and literally, something else. Not the usual management fad. Instead, here is a manual with troubleshooting instructions within. I love that suggested solutions are taken down to what behaviours to display to make the solution come to life. The exemplifications of problems are spot on, and you can immediately recognise and relate to them. My team and I have worked a lot with creating team accountability and efficiency, and with the help of this manual we can continue to work with it on our own. My team members will get a copy as soon as the book is out.”
Håkan Nyberg, Chief Executive Officer, Nordnet Bank, Stockholm, Sweden
“If you are looking for a ‘how to’ guide to improve your team’s performance then this is the book for you. While many leadership and team building books are theoretical, Leading Teams provides sound principles and is filled with helpful hints and practical steps to enhance team dynamics and improve effectiveness. The advice and solutions in this book will work as effectively with a small team as with a large, globally distributed team.”
Kristen Holden, business executive with 27 years in financial services, including insurance and banking, New York, USA
“I bought in from the first paragraph; ten chapters of real and practical examples on how to lead a team with characters skilfully portraying the tensions faced by leaders every day. A leadership masterclass.”
Lynn Hill, Deputy CEO, West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, Hertfordshire, UK
“Finally, a proactive approach to team leadership. The genius is that some solutions may seem almost too simple. Very engaging and useful.”
Christina Skytt, CEO, international bestselling author, Executive Team Coach, Power Goals Academy, Stockholm, Sweden
“If you want to be great at leading people, then you have to read this book. Simple, powerful ideas to help you get the best out of your teams!”
