Read this book if: You’re striving to make your performance stand-out in 2019, to advance and grow as a leader within your organisation.
“I used to think the best time to have a book about yourself is after you’re dead…What changed my mind about writing a book wasn’t so much the lessons of the past as the opportunities of the future. We’re on the cusp of a revolution that will take the impact of the internet and not only multiply it but play out faster than any disruption we’ve ever seen.” – John Chambers
