Riassunto

As the star of the award-winning BBC series The Apprentice, Alan Sugar has won millions of fans who tune in to watch his mix of business wisdom, witty putdowns and ability to cut straight through bullshit. But how did the famously straight-talking entrepreneur end up fronting one of our most successful and long-running shows, and why were some of his biggest challenges during his ten years in television to be found outside the boardroom and off camera? In Unscripted, Alan Sugar reveals all this and more as he embarks on a new and sometimes bewildering career. He describes how he lost patience with some of the luvvies, wafflers and wannabes he encountered along the way, and tells us what he really thought of some of the tasks and candidates he came across during the making of The Apprentice, giving his reaction to the egos and the backbiting as well as the genuine talent that shone through. He explains how he brought on board Nick Hewer, Margaret Mountford and Karren Brady, what became of the winners when the cameras stopped rolling - and how working on the show has inspired him and many others. As with his previous books, What You See Is What You Get and The Way I See It, there is no ghostwriter; this is written by the man himself. And, as ever, it is honest, funny and outspoken - Alan Sugar at his entertaining best.

L'autore:

Lord Sugar is the owner of Amshold Group Ltd and the popular star of the award-winning BBC series The Apprentice. Born in the East End of London, he is a self-made multi-millionaire whose entrepreneurial flair and talent for innovation saw him take his electronics company Amstrad from a one-man operation to an international market-leader. In 2009 the prime minister appointed him to Enterprise Champion, to advise the government on small business and enterprise and he was also awarded a life peerage. He is the author of two previous bestsellers, What You See Is What You Get and The Way I See It.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

'What are you trying to say? That a village somewhere has lost an idiot?'

Alan Sugar's witty put-downs, his laser-beam glare and no-nonsense approach have won him legions of fans on the BBC's award-winning show The Apprentice. But how has the East End boy turned multi-millionaire - a man famously allergic to bullshit - coped for ten years in the arty-farty world of television?

In Unscripted, Alan Sugar reveals how he did it his way. He describes battling to get the CEO role on The Apprentice in the first place and bringing onboard Nick Hewer, Margaret Mountford, and later Karren Brady. He remembers the candidates who impressed him, and those who infuriated him, shares his favourite moments and reveals what happened to the winners after the cameras stopped rolling.

He also gets followed into the gents by an over-enthusiastic fan, explains to a baggy-jumpered, beanie-hat-wearing young director that he will be NOT be spending all day filming a five-minute trail and refuses to let Piers Morgan make him cry. Funny and outspoken, this is Alan Sugar at his entertaining best.
