Summary: One of the best books on how to be a true leader.
Review: This book is extremely powerful, down to earth and pragmatic. In no uncertain terms, it clearly and concisely lays out exactly what to do and how to act in personal and business relationships to increase ones power, influence, prestige and popularity. Don't be misled by the language of the books title and other titles by this author. This isn't a book on how to gain power by being a backstabbing, dishonerable little person. Instead, it describes how to lay the foundations of true power by becoming indispensable to other people and meeting the basic motivating needs that drive us all. If you work in ANY managing capacity at all, you NEED this book. As an added benefit, these techniques can be used to dramatically improve the quality and quantity of your personal realtionships and family life. One of the best books I have ever read.
