Venture capitalist and bestselling author Anthony Tjan reveals why good people are the key to good business

Most CEOs say the same thing- finding good people is difficult and a matter of luck rather than skill, as being great on paper doesn't always translate to being great in practice.

In Good People, venture capitalist Anthony Tjan explains the five difficulties that make 'goodness' so uncommon in business, and features numerous profiles of 'good people' who are extraordinary leaders and motivators in their fields, including Dominic Barton, Managing Director of McKinsey & Co and Gary Knell, CEO of National Geographic.

Tjan offers practical advice of how to achieve and sustain a competitive advantage in your own business- a set of values for developing oneself and others in both business and beyond.
