REVIEW: South China Morning Post
“Both the book and the “roadshow” are captivating. Andrew Grant has star quality and uses it positively. It was like being in class with your favourite teacher at school, the one who wanted to see you have fun, knowing it nurtures thinking and results. Andrew has worked on leadership and team development around the globe for more than 15 years, but his presentation still yields the bravado of youth, nicely seasoned with the wisdom of a recognised leader in his field. He’s young at heart, and ferociously clever with it. (Nick Walker: South China Morning Post)
