Reviews
“You think you are cool? Then think again! Can’s useful guide may be the wake up call you have needed. Having read another case study, MBA 2.0, from the very same visionary author, I have found his recent work splendidly complementary like the missing piece of a jigsaw.” – Seren Ucyildiz, Vodafone UK
“Awesome read! Cool Boss is one-of-a-kind, it is blunt, and shows that the “cool bosses” really have an advantage of the beige. It contains some seriously in-depth explorations of real world examples and case studies from some of the “coolest” business personalities alive today (like Mark Zucherberg). I highly recommend this book. If you’re looking to get ahead and want to lead in exciting and innovative ways, this book is a MUST read!” – 5 Star Amazon Review
