Drawing on more than 30 years of experience interviewing stars from politics, business and the arts – from Bill Clinton to Angelina Jolie – award-winning
journalist Gavin Esler explains how to turn the power of stories to your advantage. In Lessons from the Top, Esler reveals the secret weapons of great leaders – from
planting an ‘earwig’ in their listeners’ minds to showcasing their ‘star’ quality by giving people “something they’ll always remember”. These techniques can help
with any goal says Esler – whether seeking a promotion or running for prime minister.
This book is a great insider’s view into modern leadership – uncovering why politician’s business leaders and celebrities tell the stories they do. It shows how these
methods can work for you too.
