‘GLUE challenges us to rethink modern leadership. It is a timely roadmap for leaders navigating the key post-Covid organisational challenge of the hybrid age: How do we maintain a cohesive and motivational “office culture” when the traditional office no longer meets the needs of our teams?’Inger Ashing, CEO, Save The Children International‘John Dore’s fascinating new book scours the modern landscape of work, proposing a new model of managing and leading that better coheres people around a genuine purpose, shared meaning and a freedom to experiment.’Jeremy Darroch, former Executive Chairman and Group Chief Executive, Sky‘With infectious passion for his areas of expertise, anecdotes in abundance and tools for immediate application, John Dore is the glue on the programmes he directs. Happily for readers, he is as inspirational on the page as he is in the classroom.’Richard Hytner, Adjunct Professor of Marketing, London Business School; founder, Blue Hat Man‘This is the book we all wish we’d read in February 2020. We needed glue more than ever then, and we certainly need it now. The concept of glue is a brilliant shorthand for bringing together people, purpose and leadership – and making it stick.’Catherine Faeirs, COO Autotrader‘In John Dore’s timely new book he lays out a new approach to management where leaders unite employees around bold goals, a shared purpose and a passion for experimentation. GLUE is practical, provocative and essential reading for 21st-century leaders.’Gary Hamel, one of the world’s most influential and iconoclastic business thinkers‘As organisations adapt and reinvent for the Never Normal, the physical and hybrid workplace will continue to rapidly evolve. John Dore’s entertaining new book explores the future of work and reimagines the role of the leader.’Peter Hinssen, Founder of nexxworks, and author of The Day After Tomorrow‘GLUE is a wonderful book that addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time – how to create and maintain stronger interpersonal bonds among our employees in a world where work is increasingly becoming more remote and hybrid. The book is full of ideas and examples on how to achieve this. It should become essential reading for leaders everywhere.’Costas Markides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, London Business School‘I have known John for many years and I can vouch for his understanding and knowledge of what it takes to bring people together and form expert leadership teams. John is a master of this, a topic which has assumed such importance post-Covid lockdowns and in a more flexible, hybrid working world.’Chris Allen, CEO, Quintet Private Bank‘Whether the distance that separates your team is geographical, operational or emotional, the required ‘hybrid’ leadership strategies to re-engage, re-equip and re-inspire your teams can be found in this ground-breaking new book. Put simply, GLUE is a leader’s guidebook for the future of work.’Jim Steele, Performance Coach and author of Unashamedly Superhuman‘We live in challenging times, with record levels of disengagement and employee turnover.
