Sex, Leadership and Rock’n'Roll: Leadership Lessons from the Academy of Rock [Paperback]
Review
‘his book rocks harder than early period Sabbath. I gulped it down quicker than Ozzy Osbourne used to down a bottle of bourbon.

Peter Cooks approach to the fundamentals of business management using a Rock and Roll model is hilariously practical. One of the major problems that I find as a lecturer is helping students find ways of remembering and, more importantly, applying appropriate management techniques. Peter Cook s book can bridge that gap by providing students with an up to date and relevant language of expression that uses musical idioms and practitioners that most students have heard of and can remember easily. The next step of linking the words and music to the appropriate business practices is made very much easier. The examples expressed in contemporary language will, I am sure, encourage students to use their new knowledge rather than tuck it away in their subconscious. This is a very readable and useful addition to the business bookshelf that I will be pleased to recommend to students. David Moss, MSc, Cert Ed, MCIPD –David Moss, MSc, Cert Ed, MCIPD

An intriguing approach to delivery leadership concepts and very different from traditional MBA style teaching.
