Where is the Leighton TNT Link?
I've googled and googled and I can only find references to Leighton Holdings which don't appear to be linked to AL. Can anyone point me in the direction of evidence?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

ALLAN LEIGHTON
Allan Leighton is widely respected as one of Britain’s best business managers, having taken on some of the toughest jobs around. He first made his name at the then ailing supermarket group, Asda, transforming it from a £500mln company to one sold to the biggest retailer in the world, US giant Wal-Mart for £6.2bln. Allan then became President & CEO of Wal-Mart Europe.
In November 2000, he left Wal-Mart and developed a new work ethic – ‘Going Plural’ and developed a portfolio of interests including Directorships with Dyson, Lastminute.com, Scottish Power and Cannons to name but a few.
He is currently Deputy Chairman, Selfridges & Co; Chairman, British Home Stores Ltd; Director, George Weston Ltd; Non Executive Director, BskyB & Chairman, Royal Mail Group.
In recent years, much of his time has been taken up with the Royal Mail Group which has returned to profit under his chairmanship.
Allan Leighton’s Ten Golden Rules of Business
1) Keep it simple.
2) Focus on execution.
3) Listen to your operators.
4) Think small. Small is big.
5) Less often is more.
6) Your people come first.
7) Think like a customer.
8) If in doubt, do the right thing....
9) ....but then do things right.
10) Remember, EGO stands for "edging God out".
Find out how Allan puts these rules into
practice in the many companies he has
been involved with over the years.
Execution – An Undervalued Leadership Skill
“There are two important things in business: strategy & execution – 30% is strategy and 70% is executionâ€
