Praise

“The difference between managers and leaders has widely been discussed. Rocking the Ship is for those who want to be leaders. I do not know any other business book providing more support and inspiration for those determined to define the future of their industries.”

— Heiko Wolters, Partner, Egon Zehnder

“A must-read for anyone captive in an organization or industry awaiting its inevitable disruption. It is fair to say that nobody has thought longer, harder, or smarter about the innovation immunity of corporations and how to overcome it. One of the best business books of (at least) the year--and a very different one.”

— Sebastian Wohlrapp, CEO, CINTEO

“Uli and Mat are the nightmare competitors of the consulting industry. With Rocking the Ship, they enable managers and top executives to achieve astonishing results in almost no time. Far better than spending lots of money only to end up with the usual 'not invented here' objections. Great guys to work with. Together with our clients, we are delighted.”

— Jochen Geis, CEO, Zürich International Business School (ZIBS)
