Within the pages of John Browne's The Glass Closet you will find the most important lesson for the modern business world - being true to yourself brings success.
JOHN BROWNE (Lord Browne of Madingley) was CEO of BP from
1995-2007, where he built a reputation as a visionary leader,
transforming BP into one of the world's largest companies. He was
president of the Royal Academy of Engineering, is a fellow of the
Royal Society, a foreign member of the US Academy of Arts and
Sciences and chairman of the trustees of the Tate Galleries. He
holds degrees from Cambridge and Stanford universities, was
knighted in 1998, and made a life peer in 2001. He is now a partner
at Riverstone Holdings and the author of the memoir Beyond
Business,
popular science book Seven Elements that Have Changed the World and
revealing business polemic, The Glass Closet.
Despite much progress in recent years, gay rights issues around the
world remain a serious problem. The Glass Closet by John Browne is
a brave and fascinating book that shows how businesses can lead the
way in promoting gay rights and why being yourself is best for
business and for you.
*Sir Richard Branson, Chairman Virgin Group*
Personal and instructive, The Glass Closet provides a compelling
roadmap to what, as a society and as individuals, we can achieve if
LGBT men and women are completely free from prejudice and anxiety
because of who they are.
*Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO Goldman Sachs*
Lord Browne has written a book of unfl inching honesty and lasting
social value. In it he says, ‘You will do more to better the world
when you can be authentic.’ It took much of his remarkable career
for him to reach that conclusion; but in doing so, he makes it infi
nitely easier for others to follow.
*Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO WPP*
This is a brave book. It takes a subject hardly ever discussed in
global business, gay rights, and blows apart misconceptions.
*Martha Lane Fox, Founder lastminute.com*
How many of your people are living a double life? How many are
wasting energy and emotion keeping their closet closed? Business
leaders are used to shaping their worlds, to making a diff erence.
This is one place we can, and should.
*Peter Sands, CEO Standard Chartered*
