"Learn what makes these CEOs tick": Human Resources Magazine

Writing in Human Resources Magazine, Phil Barr "would recommend ["The Secrets of CEOs"] to my senior HR colleagues, and would urge you to do the same." Phil thinks the chapter on coping with the capital crunch is "required reading" and that the "chapter analysing most CEOs' perceptions of HR, a topic I found very challenging, [was "very on the mark"]...because it provided hints on the way we should develop our careers."

"a revealing insight into the pressures at the very top" CPO Agenda Magazine
