Reviews

"The language used by corporate bosses is a rich genre that informs – or misleads – entire societies. In their book, Decoding CEO-Speak, accounting professors Russell Craig and Joel Amernic have dived deep into the hyperbole and distortions routinely uttered by chief executive officers." - Jane Gadd (Director Journal)
