On the beach
Before I ever go away, I always stock up on a few books to read. My opening title is “Top Man” by Stewart Lansley and Andy Forrester, the unauthorised biography on Sir Philip Green.
“Top Man” is a well written and enjoyable read. It is packed with detail on Philip Green’s life and how he rose to become the most important individual in the High Street.
Sir Philip Green made it to billionaire status faster than anyone else in British history and now heads up an empire of over 2,500 shops and in one year alone paid his wife (himself)a dividend of £1.2bn. A tough aggressive operator, his temper and use of colourful language is legendary. Whilst I might not follow those behavioral traits, you cannot take it away from him the success he has achieved.
A worthy read for any aspiring entrepreneur.
