Publisher's Summary

In September 2012, a YouGov poll conducted in Britain found that the person British workers would most like as their manager was Sir Richard Branson.

With over 40 years in business, Richard Branson is an inspiring pioneer of humanitarian projects and an iconic business leader. In The Virgin Way: How to Listen, Learn, Laugh and Lead, Richard shares and distils his secrets of leadership and success. Featuring anecdotes from his own business dealings, as well as his observations of many others who have inspired him - from politicians, business leaders, explorers, scientists, and philanthropists - Richard reflects on the qualities he feels are essential for success in today's world.This is not a conventional book on leadership. There are no rules - but rather the secrets of leadership that he has learned along the way from his days at Virgin Records, to his recent work with The Elders. Whether you're at the beginning of your career, or head of a Fortune 500 company, this is your guide to being your own CEO (Chief Enabling Officer) and becoming a true leader, not just a boss.

Interesting story but dull narrator

An inspiring and interesting book, but it was read by a male Siri. The narrator was dull and lifeless

So boring

I had high hopes for this book but was very disappointed! I tried over & over again to listen to it and almost got the whole way through before I just couldn’t do it anymore. Save your time & listen to something else!

Wonderful! Enjoyable and Inspiring

The narrator was great for this audiobook, it felt like I was listening to Richard Branson.
There were many anecdotes to keep me connected and know that this is biographical and not just leadership theories being bandied about.
I found many aspects of the Virgin Way could be implemented in businesses of all sizes and I especially relate to Richard's people focus.
A recommended read or listen.

Entertaining with clear messages

Great book to listen too and easy to follow. Loved the humour and the no-nonsense but collaborative approach to work and life

Great book!

Richard Branson's story is fantastic & often hilarious, but the narration is so bland. I was hoping for it to be narrated with the same cheekiness Richard Branson is known for, but no. Then again, it would be hard to narrate with a straight face. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
