BIRD ON A WIRE
The inside story from a straight-talking CEO
A candid memoir of New Zealand’s highest profile businesswoman, the inside story of her high-flying years at Telecom, and her reflections on life in business
Publishers Random House have kept this title close to their chests but finally puboication date has arrived and I am expecting my review copy to arrive by courier at any minute. It is going straight to the top of my reading list. Can't wait!
Meantime for those in the New Zealand Herald circulation area there is a rivetting, mouth-watering excerpt in the Business Herald today along with a lengthy, fascinating piece by Karyn Scherer in which Gattung tells here that Telecom's present problems come as no surprise.
More soon.
Random House - $39.99
