'In this moment, we need leaders more than ever. But, as Alicia
McKay helps us understand, waiting two years for a piece of paper
isn't required to make a difference. Start where you are and start
now.'Seth Godin, author of This is Marketing
'Credit belongs to Alicia because she is actually in the arena.
Read this book if you want a down-to-earth, what-really-works guide
to leadership.'Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism
'McKay is right - you truly do not need an MBA or even an undergrad
degree to succeed. What you do need is a structured way to think
about building your career, and a good network. This book offers
you an approach to building both that is practical and accessible.
Most importantly, it's a fun read."Kim Scott, author of Just Work
and Radical Candor
'In You Don't Need An MBA, Alicia has deconstructed leadership to
the point where it's easy to understand and action. Managers no
longer have the excuse of not knowing how to step up - instead,
they now have a choice. Read this book and grow... or don't, and
become slowly irrelevant. It should be an easy choice to
make.'Colin D. Ellis, author of Culture Hacks
'If you want to master leadership and strategy, definitely don't do
an MBA. Better to do what Alicia has done and spend two decades
deeply immersed in the topic. Sift through the research; read
hundreds of books, articles and white papers; think deeply on the
topic, speak about it, write about it and teach it. In short,
dedicate your life to it. Or, if you haven't got two decades, read
this book. It has that very rare elegance and simplicity that only
come on the other side of deep thought and hard work. And, as you
would expect from Alicia, it's the antithesis of an MBA...
accessible, quirky, moving, funny and, above all, practical and
applicable. If you are in leadership, or aspire to be, this book
should be at the very top of your list of recommended
reading.'Peter Cook, founder of The Expert Business
