I've finally got around to picking up Peter Hunter's "Breaking the Mould" (it's been sitting on my bookshelf looking at me for months). Why did it take me so long to get around to it? I've never read a business book in my life, and was a bit scared to open it in case I didn't understand it. Call it geek pride.
Well, it's a business book, or rather a business improvement book, but it's about people and what motivates them; about ownership, and how to give it back to the people who make organisations tick.
But it's not dry theory; in fact there isn't any overt theory in the book.
It's a set of stories based on Peter's experiences as a consultant. Consequently I'm finding it a lot easier to read than I expected.
Sometimes I find myself smiling and nodding, and other times I'm stunned by the simplicity and - only with hindsight - obviousness of what Peter describes.

I've read and enjoyed it immensely - Reminded me more of the James Herriott / Year in Provence style than a management textbook.
John Couldstone - Capita learning and Development
The style is alive, the narrative is vivid and simple. Boileau, the French writer, said that he who writes well must first think well. Peter has thought well and written well.
Congratulations.

Peter Hunter leant something years ago which, regrettably, most of us have still yet to learn. But, when we do - once we have understood the simplicity of 'Breaking the Mould' - it will transform our lives forever!

Definitely enjoyed the book. The way the book is structured and the way it draws you to a natural level of understanding around the point being made is fantastic.
