I bought the book to improve my work performance but have tested it on my family.
Now my son is doing his homework and reading!

As might be inferred from the name, Naked Leadership is very different. David Bentley’s background is in the armed services and in business in the US and Australia. David impresses as an intelligent, brash, energetic and down-to-earth individual who has written a book that is entertaining, practical and useful. His book has 19 chapters and contains much good advice. The pages contain many vignettes about good leadership and each chapter concludes with Naked Essentials – a summary of key points.

Straight forward, useful stuff and a good read!

"In spite of the plethora of self-help books that flood the market, there are some that stand head and shoulders above the rest, and David Bentley's is one of them.”

"Naked Leadership is not only an intelligent, well-tried leadership course, it's a book that is well-structured and entertainingly written. It's a book that can be read as much for the entertainment it gives as the advice it imparts. Bentley has a background that inspires confidence and a writing style that imparts knowledge and advice without pain.

It should be recommended reading for all leaders and would-be leaders.

Booksellers Review

Just a quick note of thanks for writing the book. I have a small business (16 staff across 3 offices) and have been struggling to understand recent attrition in the business.

I can see now where I have failed and feel I’m already on the way to restoring the fun we used to have when the business was only 4 – 5 staff.

Cheers and thanks again.

Leadership is one of those buzzwords that is often used without really being understood, especially by those of us who are supposed to “sell” it and encourage others to live it.

Just when you thought you'd read every book on leadership and were more confused than before you started, along comes a book that actually makes sense! It actually works! It actually feels good!

It's Naked Leadership by David Bentley and it is the answer to all your leadership questions, concerns, queries and “what do I do when's…”

The book is easy and quick to read and has as it's foundation the notion that all people deserve respect. In fact, it really is a way of life and could be called “Naked Living” because you can use David's ideas to achieve success in your professional and personal life.

The best thing about the book is that you can start applying the principles straight away, there are no complex models to be memorised and no difficult techniques to be mastered. It's really all common sense and if you read the book you will wonder why you haven't been doing it all along.

Leadership is not some difficult ideology that you need to attach to your business or your life, it is a holistic, living thing that is an integral part of who you are and what you do.

This book is a must read for anyone who is lost in the leadership labyrinth and for everyone who works with and cares about people.
