The FMLM Bookclub

In this collection, we aim to bring you book reviews and inspiring interviews with their authors to explore the essence of leadership through the lenses of thought-leaders, sportsmen, politicians, businessmen and more.

Whether it’s the story of the breakdown of Kevin Pietersen’s relationship with the England Cricket team (in KP: The Autobiography), stories of the Iraq War protagonists (in The Hubris Syndrome) or the scenario of an impending peril of the NHS from marketisation (in The Health of the Nation) – there is plenty to discover, so we encourage you to take the time to look around.

Get involved

If you have any thoughts to share, join in the conversation. Or why not take inspiration from our resources for interview preparation? And if you would like to contact us with suggestions for books to review, authors to interview, or are interested in either, then please bookclub [at] fmlm.ac.uk (email us).

Become a co-editor

We are also looking for a co-editor of the bookclub. If you have a love for books and writing and are keen to interview authors to find out where they draw inspiration for their work, communications [at] fmlm.ac.uk (get in touch) to find out more.
