Cindy Norcott's book on advice for entrepreneurs

--:--
Are people becoming an old-fashioned, unfavourable resource? After all, they can be emotional, unreliable, can pass on viruses and even loot businesses. There has been a rise in retrenchments and automation, often due to cost cutting pressures, fear of trade unions and one-sided labour laws that protect employees, often at the expense of the employer.

No, says Cindy Norcott, business coach, motivational speaker and author who also is the founder and CEO of specialist recruitment agency ProTalent.
