This is a stunning book – the photos alone will lift your spirits. Its premise is that ‘primitive’ societies have survived centuries of hard conditions, and must therefore have something to teach modern businesses. Much of the advice is common sense – such as leading by example – but it’s the kind of common sense that we’ve forgotten. An enjoyable read with thought-provoking tales from around the world.
