Review :
"a wealth of knowledge, insight and evidence to learn from" (The Marketing Society, April 2015) “Morgan and Barden have produced a thought-provoking book for leaders and entrepreneurs looking to inject fresh thinking into their perspectives on business”. (The Irish Times, May 2015) “..there are tons of inspiring and interesting case studies….it will inspire, guide and challenge you to find your way around – if not over – that hurdle you currently face.” (Marketing, June 2015) “..in the assured hands of Morgan and Barden, it’s a gentle but insistent boot up the backside for anyone who wants to improve their business – or personal – performance” (PR Week, July 2015)
