LEADERSHIP - SIMON MACDONALD GEBUNDEN

In his first book  Simon McDonald assumes that thinking about leadership before you lead helps
you to lead better. No matter the circumstances in which we might be called to lead the example
of top leaders in politics and public service can help you figure out your own approach.Over
nearly four decades in HM Diplomatic Service  Simon worked for a dozen senior ambassadors
before becoming permanent under-secretary himself and leading the Service for five years. He
also worked directly for six foreign secretaries and saw five prime ministers work at close
quarters. Observing these people undertaking the most important and often the most difficult
work in the country  Simon saw the behaviours which helped them achieve their objectives  and
those which hindered them.In a closing chapter that considers the future of leadership in the
UK  Simon McDonald makes a compelling case for the reform of the monarchy  the cabinet  civil
service and  in particular  the House of Lords  of which he has been a member since 2021.
Leadership of the United Kingdom is being debated as never before. This book is a clear-sighted
and insightful contribution to that debate.
