Reviews

'According to Gwen, entrepreneurship is like taking a trip. Actually, this also applies to the second book she wrote. Reading this book is not only an adventurous and educational journey, it is also a mirror for yourself as an entrepreneur and director. It forces you to consider – using 10 clearly explained steps – how to keep your destination focused and avoid wandering. This is a professional with experience speaking. Read this book and learn from it!'
Kees Groenewoud
'In 10 clear and recognizable steps, you as an entrepreneur will be taken on the journey to (more) success. The book is easy to read and with clear examples it is practical and applicable.'
Sjef Mulders
'As an entrepreneur with a start-up/scale-up, I regularly need practical tools that help me with the growth, strategy and development of my organization. 'Grip on Growth & Capriciousness in 10 Steps' meets that need with practical guidance, as we have come to expect from Gwen with her combination of theory and pragmatic approach. 10 steps that highlight every facet of entrepreneurship and provide the focus to be successful. Not heavy, but clearly recognizable and applicable, from 'aha' to 'oh yes', a must have for every manager and growth diamond.'
Pieter Imhof
'In her new book, Gwen has clearly described how you can further increase the effectiveness of yourself, your team and your company. Given the turbulent times we are in, I believe that 'capriciousness' will always remain and that the desire for growth is a must for leaders.'
Hans Blaauw
'While reading the book, many recognizable topics emerged. Many situations described, combined with practical tips, can be very well placed in the phase we are in as a company. This is characterized as, among other things, rapidly growing in number of people. The text is also very compellingly written and the book provides immediate solutions to current issues on the proverbial 'work floor'. This makes it all the more interesting and functional.'
René Grummel
'This book has been an eye-opener and a trigger for me as a leader and professional. When you lead organizations for years, some things become self-evident. But the novice leader also faces situations for which you do not immediately have an answer. Written in Gwen's characteristically pleasant style, she takes you through 10 logical steps to recognize situations and factors and invites you to get started! An accessible management book with many practical examples that make you think! Each step ends with non-binding assignments that make you curious to gain real insight into your own 'unique' situation. In addition, it also offers hands-on solutions to tackle issues with the insights gained and supporting references. Do you, as a leader, dare to take up this challenge and grow?'
