"... 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." (CMI Book Club, July 2014)
"A wonderful read. Not for the faint-hearted." (Dialogue, June 2014)
"... 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)
