Anna is a lovely dynamic
young lady. I think her idea of approaching key successful business owners in
South Africa to get their insights into intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship
is brilliant. Getting insights from people such as Margaret Hirsch, DJ Fresh
and Michael Jordaan’s take on success and failure and learning from fellow
business owners what has worked for them and learning from their lessons is
really great. There are pearls of wisdom throughout the book as you are
learning from the best. This book relates to business owners as well as to
employees. I must admit that I was thrilled to contribute to the book from a
communication management point of view.
I was really quite impressed
that Blair Singer did the foreword for her. Something that Anna mentions early
on in the book is to make notes in a book so that you can refer back to key
areas that you found pertinent. I too have always been quite reluctant to do
this and have pretty much resorted to Post-It notes (probably because our team
has a shared library). However, Anna shares
that if you were given a choice between a book with no notes in it and a book
that Albert Einstein read and made notes in, which one would you be most likely
to read?
This book looks at different business challenges, with solutions and advice from different business experts. I quick, easy and enjoyable read.
