GLUE is a wonderful book that addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time - how to create and maintain stronger interpersonal bonds among our employees in a world where work is increasingly becoming more remote and hybrid. The book is full of ideas and examples on how to achieve this. It should become essential reading for leaders everywhere.'
Costas Markides,
Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, London Business School'I have known John for many years and I can vouch for his understanding and knowledge of what it takes to bring people together and form expert leadership teams. John is a master of this, a topic which has assumed such importance post-Covid lockdowns and in a more flexible, hybrid working world.'

GLUE is a leader's guidebook for the future of work.'
