'We really liked this book. If accountants had a reading list for success then this book would be on it.'
PQ Careers
'Business Gurus is a remarkable and interesting collection of ideas from the thought leaders of the 20th and the first decade of the 21st century. They represent the best mix of classic business thinking and the new wave of digital visionaries... A crisp introduction to thought-leaders who play a significant part in the leadership and management styles of today.
