Arthur Cotterell, former Principal of Kingston College in
London, has spent many years combining senior educational
management with historical research. He is the respected author of
more than thirty books, and is now writing on the Chinese empire,
from the history of which he considers one can learn as much about
leadership as from Ashridge or Harvard.
Roger Lowe, Vice Principal for Planning and Resources at Kingston College, is a chartered manager with experience of management training in both the public and private sectors. For Roger, the lessons of ancient leadership in this volume are particularly relevant at a time of globalization and technological advance.
Ian Shaw is a training and development manager with Nestlé Purina Petcare. Having worked in a variety of large and small companies, his current work is strongly focussed on leadership development. It is his firm belief that leadership development will play a key role in sustaining commercial success over the next decade.
