On the surface it might seem to be about the famed man and his achievements, but it is really a book about leadership. Philip Yeo shined because he had the right leaders who used him to his strengths. Similarly, he inspires fierce loyalty in those who worked under him because he did not see workers as objects but valued them as assets and relationships to be cultivated.
“Everywhere I went, the first people I fired were the managers. I never fire the workers. It's not the fault of the workers. Whenever a company has problems, it is because of problems in the management. When people feel they are being taken care of,that they are being recognised, and when workers respect their bosses and are able to work with minimum interference, their productivity will be unlimited. People don't work for pay alone. People work because they are recognised and valued. They leave a company because they don't feel wanted.”
