Anyone familiar with the business section of the p.ublished group of newspapers will probably be a fan of Ian’s regular musings on a broad range of modern business dilemmas. This is his second collection of columns, and this time the author has helpfully curated them into three key topic areas: Pathways To Personal Growth, Strategic Leadership In Action, and Driving Success: Strategic Insights For Growth.

While this organisation is useful for readers referencing advice on specific topics they encounter in their professional life, those tackling the book cover-to-cover may notice thematic overlaps and a loose, conversational structure rather than a singular narrative arc.

But no matter. It’s the perfect companion for an occasional dip into the world of business theories with a smattering of practical advice and takeaways to try for yourself. Readers might not experience any “Eureka!” moments, but without a doubt there are nuggets of gold for ambitious entrepreneurs.
