How to make friends, influence people and be the (second) best you can be - by being second-in-command
Klappentext zu „Consiglieri “
The key to success lies in getting to the top. Right? Wrong.Not everyone can be in charge but, more importantly, not everyone should want to be. Richard Hytner, deputy chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi, thinks it's time to celebrate the second-in-command, the consiglieri: Merlin to King Arthur, Al Gore to Bill Clinton, Rasputin to the Russian Royal Family. These are the deputies, Vice-Presidents, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Department Heads, First Lieutenants and First Violins whose influence determines the fate of countries, companies and individual ventures all over the world.
After all, supremacy comes with drawbacks (one of which is that everyone wants your job) and influence, authority and power can be found in much more interesting places than behind the CEO's desk. Consiglieri brings together historical examples from Thomas Cromwell to Cardinal Richelieu, conversations with the second-in-commands of Tony Blair and Sir Alex Ferguson, insights into Stalin, JFK, Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore, interviews with leaders in sport, business, politics and music and cutting-edge research from psychologists and academics to produce a fresh (and refreshing) approach to leadership in the mould of Obliquity or Thinking, Fast and Slow.
If you fancy yourself as a contemporary Machiavelli or Bismarck, make this stylish, clever and entertaining guide to finding your ideal role in a company your first choice. This is the first (not second) funny business book for a long time.
Autoren-Porträt von Richard Hytner
Hytner, RichardRichard Hytner is Saatchi & Saatchi's Worldwide Deputy Chairman.
Following his No 1 brother to school, Hytner 2 never made it past the second 11 football team and played Lady Alice More (not the main man) in A Man for All Seasons. For four years, he studied the leading lights of Cambridge Footlights holding a spear. Lusting for centre stage, he became a serial advertising agency leader and in 2003 joined Saatchi & Saatchi as its Chief Executive for Europe, Middle East & Africa.
Aged 47, he concluded that he might, after all, be better suited to a leadership life in the shadows. Kevin Roberts, Capo Di Tutti Capi at Saatchi & Saatchi, agreed. So he made him Deputy Chairman. In 2011, he was appointed (not full but) Adjunct Associate Professor of Marketing at the London Business School.
He lives in London with his wife, Rosie and has two children, Joe and Sophie.
