REVIEWS
This is far from the usual management manual, in that it deals in concepts that are not normally considered to be ‘business like’, but understanding and applying them would truly transform the way we work, how fulfilled we feel and what we achieve together.
Sarah Jackson OBE, Former CEO, Working Families
This is unlike any ‘ordinary’ business book. Matt Dean reflects on the changing workplace through the prism of life-threatening illness. He takes an unflinching look in the mirror and draws compelling life lessons.
Jim Carroll, Former UK Chairman, BBH
Matt brings a refreshing and very personal perspective to an important topic. There is no shortage of books about the workplace, but this one is different and deserves to stand out from the crowd. Whether you have management or HR responsibilities or are just someone who has colleagues, this book will make you think and quite possibly behave a little differently in future.
Julian Taylor, International Practice Group Head (Employment), Simmons & Simmons
