Foreword
"External demands focused our efforts on moving from ink on paper to achieving a global position in information and logistical capability, which was a challenge given our core print industry culture and skills. Alex met this challenge head-on with focused Leadership, never forgetting the core principles of management success. Enjoy this vital reflection from Alex. I know it will be an excellent resource for you and generations to come, as fundamental values on Leadership and life don't change significantly over time. I could always depend on Alex for straightforward, candid and concise input and feedback, whether the news was good or maybe not so good; I counted on Alex for the purified reality - 'it does matter ."

BOOK REVIEWS
'it does matter'
“ 'it does matter' is an easy and interesting read. I liked the way you recorded your climb up that tall ladder and the difficulties of reaching the top. It was interesting how innovative you were in creating a market for your printing equipment via Microsoft, a colossal development. Just as well, you left Zambia. I shall send the book to my son Peter in Zambia. I was amused at your experience with AP in organising your departure and Albert Israil’s reaction.”

"I found 'it does matter' almost like an adventure story and a travelogue.
It was a 'page-turner' as I could not wait to see where you were going
to 'land' next. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable book."
