‘This is not your typical “do this, do that” boring, bullet-pointed business book. David really understands the complexities of becoming an even more successful CEO than you already are. The anecdotes, case studies and wry humour help bring it all alive for me and make it a wonderful and refreshing read. I learned a lot.’
