Hailed by the Sunday Times as "one of the best man-managers and strategists in the rail business", Richard Brown's book is part memoir and part critique.

Produktbeschreibung
Hailed by the Sunday Times as "one of the best man-managers and strategists in the rail business", Richard Brown's book is part memoir and part critique. Through the lens of his many, varied roles over a 43 year career, two thirds spent in senior leadership positions, he reflects on the UK rail industry's changing structures and ownerships, analysing what worked and why. He was part of the leadership team which moved British Rail's InterCity business into profit in the 1980s, and then led the successful transformation of Eurostar into a high performing railway business in the 2000s. Along the way he provides many fascinating insights into how to win more passengers and improve a railway's financial performance. In short, how to organise and run a successful railway. With a career that spanned both public and private sector roles, including membership of the Department for Transport's, National Express's and other rail industry Boards, he offers a unique analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and different cultures of public and private sector organisations. His conclusion offers a clear direction of travel as to how Britain's rail industry might best be organised as it prepares to be nationalised again. This is a must-read for today's and tomorrow's railway leaders and for anyone interested in the necessary reshaping of the industry.

I'm married to my beautiful wife, Christina. We've got a wild, beautiful, large blended family. But don't let that fool you, my past ain't clean. I am Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." My story isn't one moment; it's a collection. A tangled, torn-up journey of failed attempts at saving myself. Of trying to be "good enough." Of slipping, stumbling, and sprinting away from truth. It's a story of depression. Anxiety. Alcohol abuse. Premarital sex. Children out of wedlock. Just torn between knowing better... and doing worse. And honestly? I thought my story was too pathetic to matter. I told myself: Be thankful. Start doing the right thing. Be quiet. Stay in your lane." Because I thought I was just another cliché. But God...
