Trade Review
a fun and breezy read (People Management, April 2014) His book is a refreshing antidote to the blandness of so many how I made it big business books. In it, he commends a very different style of leadership to the usual, preferring instinct, quirkiness and chance-taking over the usual management-speak. (IDG Connect, April 2014) A wonderful read. Not for the faint-hearted. (Dialogue, June 2014) well worth reading as it will challenge your 'norms' and make you think about how you really can get the best out of your people.
