"... well worth reading as it will challenge your 'norms' and make you think about how you really can get the best out of your people." (CMI Book Club, July 2014)

"A wonderful read. Not for the faint-hearted." (Dialogue, June 2014)

"... a fun and breezy read...." (People Management, April 2014)

"His book is a refreshing antidote to the blandness of so many 'how I made it big' business books. In it, he commends a very different style of leadership to the usual, preferring instinct, quirkiness and chance-taking over the usual management-speak." (IDG Connect, April 2014)

Radical, creative, often extreme, and incredibly successful management techniques from a leading global entrepreneur

Written from the point of view of someone achieving business success in today's turbulent economy, Forget Strategy. Get Results offers you a fresh way of thinking about successfully managing any sort of business, under any conditions. Controversial, thought-provoking, and entertaining, it delivers TelecityGroup founder and former CEO, Michael Tobin OBE's, unconventional approach to management and shares the lessons he's learned on his path to building one of the world's largest data center provider companies. Radical, creative, often extreme, the techniques it describes are the same ones Michael used every day at TelecityGroup, and with which he has achieved nothing short of awe-inspiring results.
