"It
takes an enormous amount of discipline, hard work, creativity
and self-confidence to see an entrepreneurial idea through, as

back!"

‘Combines a
colourful and lively writing style with the
solutions to real business problems that keep
managers awake at night.’ |
It is week six of
Tony Sharp’s new job. His division is under threat,
his staff won’t take responsibility and so far,
Tony’s attempts to improve efficiency have had
little effect. He soon realises that a more radical
approach is required... But can he convince those
around him to take the risk?
Defying Gravity
touches on the real issues that keep managers
awake at night. What do you do when a key member of
your team walks out and you’re told that there’s a
hiring freeze? How do you convince the board to
invest without setting yourself unachievable
targets? What do you do about the back-stabbing
colleague who seems determined to see you fail?
A
gripping and entertaining read,
Defying Gravity
documents the unpredictable journey of one corporate
entrepreneur as he battles his way to business
success, providing valuable insight along the way.
