Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, School of Thinking
He worked with Edward De Bono teaching people to think, but Michael Hewitt-Gleeson has moved on from selling hats. He studied under George Gallup, but is now creating, rather than measuring, ‘word of mouth’. He is a bestselling author, public speaker and ‘paradigm-shifter’. This month, we honour Michael Hewitt-Gleeson as ‘The Anthillian’.

Check out the new Twitter list of Anthill contributors
Anthill Magazine (in both its print and digital incarnations) has always had a rich and varied group of editorial contributors.

The iPad’s lack of eye-friendly e-ink (found in specialised e-readers such as the Kindle or Sony Reader) has prompted many adult observers to conclude that it is not a serious reading device. But try telling your kids that it’s unsuitable for reading once they’ve seen this clip of Alice In Wonderland on the iPad.
David Brent demonstrates the power of first impressions
If you’ve ever been a part of an organisation that has merged with another, you’ll know that there’s always at least one person who tries a little too hard to impress the newcomers.
