Synopsis

Sir John Parker is Britain's most senior industrialist. His wealth of experience in leading businesses - both in the diversity of companies he has run and the range of issues he has met is unparalleled in modern British industry. In this book, Sir John recounts the milestones on his 50-year industrial journey and draws out the countless lessons he has learned in mastering the arts of Business leadership. Trained as a Naval Architect and Engineer, Sir John has chaired five FTSE 100 companies and held senior Board positions for many years in leading global businesses including Airbus, GKN, Brambles, Carnival Corporation and DP World. He is currently Chairman of the construction group Laing O Rourke and of Pennon, the UK Water and Waste-to-Energy company. Sir John has dealt at the highest level with every British Government since the late 1970s, and Chaired the Court of the Bank of England during the financial crisis. He was a member of the first UK Prime Minister s Business Council and has led several inquiries for the British Government, most recently in the fields of Boardroom Diversity and Naval Shipbuilding. Among his many Institutional and Voluntary Sector roles, he was President of the Royal Academy of Engineering and of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, and Chancellor of the University of Southampton. He led Young Offenders into Work for 10 years when he was Chairman of National Grid. All this experience is distilled in the book, where Sir John analyses the corporate turnrounds, takeover battles, mergers and acquisitions that he has led. He lays out the principles and practices covering the highly topical issues of Corporate Governance and Boardroom Management. He details his deep insight into Britain s manufacturing and energy industries. And he explains his support for a modern Industrial Strategy to drive the country s future economic growth amid the unprecedented challenge of Brexit. Sir John s aim with this book is to inform and inspire both those who currently hold positions of leadership in Business and the many thousands more who will be the leaders tomorrow. It is a vivid account of his working lifetime, a masterful overview of the British industrial landscape and a supremely-informed and authoritative handbook of Business leadership.'
