How do you get it, and how do you keep it? If ever there was a cautionary tale about the fleeting nature of success, it is the events of recent years.

How do you achieve leadership and power? How can you hold onto it, once you get it? What are the barriers to success, and what is the bedrock to enduring success?--From publisher description.
