“If you’ve ever wished that someone would pull back the curtain so you
could learn from the use (or abuse) of power by the likes of Bill Gates,
Barack Obama, Eliot Spitzer, Indra Nooyi, Rahm Emanuel, Warren Buffett,
and Jeff Bezos, your wish has been granted. The Elements of Power neatly dissects the art and science of influence and leadership as practiced by leaders from every part of the globe.”—
