8+8+8 Minutes to Change Your Life

About this ebook
In 24 minutes, this much needed life-hack will open your world to new ways to understand and create business and personal success in your life. Written by an experienced business executive it aims to provide a quick guide to unleashing the inner you.
It calls for an end to holding hands and singing Kumbaya, and provides a tool to energize and ignite your inner most desires. Just as Caesar placed God-like statues of himself around Rome, the business leadership literature of today, mostly focuses on how to be the ideal cut-out. Experience has unveiled an alternative darker view, which Frederick Anderson brings to the fore in a few key takeaways. At best it will knee-jerk you into success, or at worst it will provide you insights into some of the dynamics of success in your business or personal network. So go on and take a plunge – it may just lead you down an interesting wormhole.
Frederick Anderson
An only child who grew up in the country, I had little to do but read. I wrote my first story when I was nine, about a monster that lived in the hills behind my home. It scared me so much I hid the pages under my bed at night and still had nightmares about it! An embryo stage career, nipped in the bud by an injudicious marriage (fortunately for the theatre, I think) and a lifetime of jobs that haven't really meant anything in themselves, but which afford me a rich font of characters. I hope they will leap from the page for you as they do for me! This year I was short-listed for the Aeon Short Fiction Prize.

Preface
Business literature abounds with both qualitative and quantitative research of what it takes to be a successful leader in an organisation; or in your life. And to be honest, after much research and observation on what happens in real life, there is a darker side that very few researchers explore in terms of truly understanding leadership. After 15 years in various positions in seven companies, many of which are multinationals, I was disillusioned, and could not find a conclusive link between all the do good
theories and what really happens in many granite embossed corridors.
The time for holding hands and singing Kumbaya in the workplace belonged in the 1950’s and 1960’s. It
