An inspirational book about how to run a great business, by the successful entrepreneur, Julian Richer, founder and managing director of Richer Sounds

In 1978 Julian Richer, then aged just nineteen, opened his first shop near London Bridge. For over twenty years this shop has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the highest sales per square foot of any retail outlet in the world, and the company as a whole, with its fifty-three stores nationwide and huge online presence, has become Britain's favourite retailer of TV and hi-fi equipment. What lies behind this extraordinary success?

For Julian, the answer is simple- throughout his career he has focussed relentlessly on putting people - both staff and customers - right at the centre of his business. And in The Richer Way, he offers a supremely practical guide to how others can follow suit. He explains how to motivate employees and measure their progress. He establishes how to balance company discipline with individual autonomy. He explores what 'customer service' should really involve. Above all, he points the way to creating an open, friendly and flexible culture that will not only attract the best people but also offer the greatest chance of business success.

Packed with straightforward, common-sense advice, The Richer Way will prove essential reading for all organisations, whatever their nature and size.

In addition to his commercial activities, Julian Richer is the founder and a trustee of Acts 435, set up to help those in need, and in 2013 he established ASB Help, which works with victims of anti-social behaviour. He lives in Yorkshire.

Reviews for The Richer Way: How to Get the Best Out of People

If I had to hold up someone as a role model for other wannabe tycoons to follow, the founder of the Richer Sounds hi-fi chain would be that person ... [The Richer Way is] one of the best business books in history. * Independent * Read this book and transform your business. -- Archie Norman, Chairman of Marks & Spencer How to become a Richer Guru and actually boost business. * The Times * Like all good management books, it is readable, controversial, and full of golden nuggets of good advice. -- Tim Daniels, former Managing Director of Selfridges I first came across Richer Sounds many years ago when I read Julian Richer's book The Richer Way. His book was so full of common sense that I filled several pages of an A4 pad with his ideas. The ideas are not only original, they work. -- John Timpson * Telegraph *
