BOOK REVIEW
REVIEWER: MRS OMOBOLA JOHNSON ( Country Manager, Accenture)

The book introduction is a profound one. A conversation between a 90year old man, Pa Anuoluwa and his grand daughter Ore-Ofe over two days.

We decipher from the conversation that Pa Anuoluwa resigned from Agbonmagbe after serving, on the surface successfully, for ten years. Upon retirement, two key incidents make him introspective and it is in this introspective mood that he has this conversation about his career as MD of Agbonmagbe. With the benefits of old age, hindsight and people like Mr. Enugboro, he recounts to Ore-Ofe all the mistakes he made as a corporate leader and why the organization went bankrupt shortly after he left. Ore-Ofe, being a young person seemingly about to embark on a career herself, is very eager to learn at her grandfather’s feet and asks probing and insightful questions of her grandfather which he illustrates through his career experience. At the end of the conversation, Pa Anuoluwa turns the table around and sets Ore-Ofe some questions. He is however kind enough to point Ore-Ofe in the direction of the answers i.e. a book written by a brilliant young man, Seyi Wright.

And so the book begins:
Seyi then carries on the conversation with Ore-Ofe. I would like to spend a few minutes on the style of book, before I delve into the review, which is unique in its ability to absorb and engage the reader.
