A childhood memoir of South London during the swinging 1960s and 1970s, miniskirts and the Beatles, but where life was anything but normal. From villains and bent coppers to gun-running in Africa and imprisonment, all brought to a focus by an IRA terrorist assassination plot that punctuated the end of an era. This is the story of small-time scoundrel, Victor Richardson, a character larger than life but smaller than human, seen through the eyes of his son, Martin, who pieces together fragments from the past to present an insightful picture of gangland London at its height, painting an autobiographical account of his father's ill-fated life.

This pragmatic, comprehensive book fills a gap as a complete A-Z guide to people management, helping managers along the most difficult of paths: leading, motivating and running a team of people. This is an ideal book for managers who need quick but expert guidance on the people management problems they face on a daily basis. Making the transition to managing a team is daunting in itself but the problems don’t stop there; managing other people poses challenges at all levels. This book takes the form of a clinic, where a people manager asks an experienced management consultant how he should approach particular issues and problems. This unique question and answer format offers managers advice that is accessible, practical and based on the author’s many years’ management consulting experience, and can be read whole or dipped into as and when necessary.
