In the book, Ian shines an irreverent but hard-hitting spotlight on the absurdities of getting things done in large business, examines the loneliness and tough realities of leadership and seeks to understand why we make our lives so difficult at work.
In this thought-provoking course, Ian Russell draws from more than 25 years’ experience of leading – as well as working – in large organisations around the world so that he can distil the key themes and challenges that confront big business today.
