Business the Richard Branson Way: 10 Secrets of the World's Leading Brand Builder (Bigshots) Book

Des Dearlove is no stranger to singing the praises of the corporate great and good. As an author and journalist, Mr Dearlove has also undertaken a study of the mighty Bill Gates in the same BigShots series. Here, as with Gates, a top businessman is anatomised through the medium of a business guide. We are promised "10 secrets of the world's greatest brand-builder" but what we get is more hagiography than inside track. This is somewhat surprising given the book's opening challenge, viz. do we "see him (Branson) as the bearded crusader or simply capitalism with a hairy face?" After 160 pages of almost unadulterated praise, agreeing with the second statement might well be prosecutable under crimes against the state. Mr Dearlove, you are well named indeed. On the other hand, Business the Branson Way positively brims with the snappy titles that make the author such a sharp practitioner of this genre. "Beard faced cheek"; "All teeth and no trousers"; "Have brand will travel" give the book a pacey feel. As Dearlove herds his text forward with admirable alacrity so he is careful to match speed with prudence in a series of bulleted reminders at the end of chapters. Not the most objective study but lively enough for your next three-hour flight. --Jasper ReidRead More
