David Mellor
Inspirational Gamechangers
A walk through the above book, published in 2015, with author David Mellor
Rationale for the book
Great business leaders and great companies are a constant source of inspiration for others in business; their routes to success encourage our ambitions, inspire in us the belief that great achievement is possible, and – crucially – give us practical pointers towards how to do it.
Referencing some of the thirty influential business innovators featured in the book, David reveals why they have had such an impact, outlines key decisions in their career trajectory and leaves the business reader with an abundance of ideas, actions and strategies to put into practice in their own business setting. In particular he considers what the “Gamechangers” have in common, and highlights the key lessons that they are keen to share.
