Chris Kennedy was born in 1968 in Yorkshire.
With no idea what he wanted to do with his life, he drifted through one or two fairly unfulfilling jobs, including some interesting and occasionally unpleasant times as a door to door salesman, before joining a training school in his local casino.
After six years as a croupier he decided it was time to spread his wings and headed to the city of Thessaloniki, remaining there for several months.
During his time in Greece, he was drawn to the quaint harbours and marinas that were dotted along the coastline from Thessaloniki to the small town of Michaniona. He spent much time at the water’s edge, enjoying the tranquility and soaking up the atmosphere and even perhaps, being subtly inspired to write his first novel.
When personal circumstances made it necessary to leave Greece, he did so with a sad heart, and always felt since that he had left a small piece of himself behind.
Following a short spell back at home, he moved to Ireland where he still lives today.
How do you train people to become better leaders? Almost 200,000 books exist on the topic, and American companies spend almost $14 billion annually on the pursuit of leadership training, but so far no one has come up with the definitive answer. The U.S. military spends more on leadership training than most organizations, and it should: its officers run a business with millions of employees in hundreds of countries across the planet, and at any moment its leaders might have to order their subordinates to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Military leadership training teaches 11 behaviors that the services believe are the key to creating effective leaders. The problem with this training, though, is that most adult learners forget nearly 50% of what they learn within two weeks. How can a leadership trainer increase retention and create better leaders?
Stories. Research has shown our brains become more active when we tell stories. We are wired for storytelling, and we learn better when information is presented through stories.

No matter whether you are a CEO leading a diverse multinational business or a novice filling your first decision-making position, this book will change the way you view leadership and help you become the leader you want to be.
