Past 7 days Bill Michael quit as chairman of KPMG British isles after the Financial Instances claimed he experienced advised consultants to “stop moaning” through a discussion about the pandemic’s impact.

Their very best-promoting book on management posed the question Why Should really Any individual Be Led By You?
