Building Bridges
Dick Olver’s initial response to being offered a job at BP was to turn it down. But he thought again and accepted. It was lucky for him, and lucky for BP, that he did. Over 30 years later he had risen to be deputy CEO. On leaving BP, Dick became Chairman of BAE Systems at just the time when steady leadership was required. Dick’s great skill of getting the very best out of people and teams comes through with the fascinating details in this compelling autobiography.
“Olver is a modest man. But he has little reason to be modest about what he did ….Yet it is all the personal touches, and human insights, that make this such a compelling read….”
Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles KCMG LVO
