The story of one couple’s move from the UK to live in the sun.

Don't let the title of this book deceive you. There are no "perfect" people when it comes to hiring. There are just people.
"Perfection" in terms of hiring is a false paradigm. People are not born in a matrix. Consequently, their true potentiality is not measured by arbitrary algorithms.

This book is for everyone - because everyone is affected by the quality of leadership in our world.
