This year, we have seen so many great management thinkers and doers (50), that it is hard to pick the best.
But do so I must, and the list will need to be unapologetically personal. Not the best then…
Just my favourites.
And there are plenty more to come in the New Year too.
Including our Management Doubles: pairs of thinkers who did some their best work together, as a pair.
But, in the meantime…
Happy New Year to all of our readers
