Comments from readers and collaborators I have just read with great interest your book "Winning by sharing" It resonated very deeply with me. Having now read your book the answer is very clear. Creating awareness of the changing world we will be living in. I have just escaped from the corporate trap (redundancy in 2004) where I was ops director for a multinational manufacturing company. Not much fun!! Your book is a clear guide to people like me of just how powerful our individual influence over our future can be if we collaborate and simply make a stand for what we really believe in. I could never go back to employment or the corporate world now. We run businesses virtually based all over the world and often never actually meet the client at all. Once again congratulations for writing such a powerful but concise book. Jon Boys, Trainer, Consultant and Coach. "Leon, Anna as I have said in my feedback this was honestly the best thing I have read since Goldratts business novel 'The Goal'. Thank you so much for weaving together some tremendous ideas with superior perception. Enjoyable and informative at the same time." "Read your entire book in 2.5 hours. Could not put it down. What an eye opening experience. I do believe you are right on track! Will digest one more time! Great insight! Regards and Thank You for Your Fine Work! Will recommend to my network!" "Thoroughly enjoyed reading Winning by Sharing™ . What insights and what thoughts and feelings it awakens within. Simply amazing! This is definitely something that I would like to read again and take in even more." "The book was received and read within 2 hours from cover to cover. You dived straight into a series of tantalising and interesting subjects to keep the reader entertained with the right level of facts and views that I had never previously considered. The Ecademy bias was probably a little too strong in places but I found the read a good use of my time and a fabulous introduction into the world of networking. I intend to re-read again and will reference in the future. I have distributed the book among a few colleagues, especially to those who are thinking what next after being part of the Corporate World, and those who do understand the networking world. One guy felt enlightened and immediately identified his lack of sales success over the past 5 years. He had no network!" "This is one of the best, informative, futurist business books I have read in along time." "It’s a fantastic read, enlightening and mind opening. The style is personal, pragmatic and addictive." "I have read your book and it is compelling reading. Well, well done. I love the chemistry analogy. Makes perfect sense." "There is a lot in what I have read so far that resonates. In fact, you could say, that the reason I am no longer a corporate clone is because for years I felt exactly that 80% of what I was doing was a complete waste of time." "Winning by Sharing™ is a great book that illustrates how the law of reciprocity is a powerful way to achieve success in business and life." "It has crystallised a lot of my thinking and has opened up new ways for me to move my own project forward." "I chair this company based on what Léon Benjamin says to me" "I stumbled across your site whilst doing some preliminary research on an idea and was startlingly surprised to find another person who shares so many similar views to myself (although I do not think we are alone in many of the views!). I agree that the internet has enabled the emancipation of enterprise through a process of creative destruction and I also think that social philanthropy is far more important as a dimension than has traditionally been known. I vaguely remember reading Charles Handy for the first time reading his vision of portfolio working and thinking both how inevitable and pragmatic it was. Unfortunately people are innately complacent and it takes a severe blow to awaken the animal instinct that transforms a person from a bureaucratic soldier to a moderate crusader, hence it will come as a surprise to most. It is interesting that you draw upon corporate transparency and how HR is hardly relevant, two areas I also consider need to be polarised further. We have seen several events recently, ranging from the scandalous Enron to Refco (no more than a week ago!), but the system remains fundamentally flawed due to sluggish legilation and how fast the market forgets. I also agree that the recruitment market is on the verge of the transformation; all that remains is for someone to create a alternative that accomodates both the individual and the corporation, to look beyond the vanilla direction to see the obvious solution. I hope your crusade for stimulating the grey matter of the general populous goes well and highly respect the ethos you convey." |
