Introduction

I was inspired and motivated by my Dad, Bert, who I hope will be eternally pleased to know that the time, effort and expense he put into my education and upbringing weren't entirely wasted.

One of Dad’s favourite books, and one he encouraged me to read was 'Up the Organisation' by Robert Townsend, one time CEO of Avis Rent A Car. I've ended up with his copy of the book and often flip through it. Forty years on it's one of the best management books around.

Liking Townsend's style, with a page or so devoted to an aspect of management, I thought it would be a good idea to capture the thoughts of other great thinkers and shapers of opinion in a similar manner.

Because of Bert’s high regard for him, I selected Jesus of Nazareth to kick off the Inspired and Motivated Series. The second one will be Saul of Tarsus, the good the bad and the downright ugly.
