Learn leadership from the best—proven insights from the power elite in business, government, and beyond View from the Top brings readers inside the corridors of power and relates the personal stories and powerful findings from the Platinum Study, a groundbreaking study of 550 elite American CEOs, senior government leaders, and nonprofit executives based on ten years of research. The largest study of its kind, the Platinum Study delves into the domains of the elite with stories that illustrate both the use and misuse of power across the landscape of prominent American institutions such as AT&T, Harvard University, UnderArmour, JP Morgan Chase, Bain & Company, and the White House. The book explores not only how leaders wield power, but it also provides readers with insight into applying the strategies of the successful in their own lives. In the United States, only a few thousand individuals make the decisions that influence the lives of over 300 million people. Whether in the government, business, higher education, or the arts, these individuals direct policy and set the terms of national debates, yet remain virtually unknown. View from the Top explores the real lives of the elite and the social worlds they inhabit, revealing lessons about influence at the top, and the seven principles that shape those in power. The results of the Platinum Study include unexpected truths such as: Being born into wealth is a poor predictor of leadership success One program can set you on the path to leadership It doesn't matter what college you attend A leader's best work never sees the light of day Time-crushed executives are better situated than most to manage their family lives Crisis is the quickest way for a leader to shape an institution Working longer does not mean working better The book examines the different paths to power and describes the essence of leadership and the fundamental traits that distinguish a leader from the pack. For anyone seeking sharpen their leadership skills and impact the world around them, View from the Top: An Inside Look at How People in Power See and Shape the World provides the roadmap to taking charge and inspiring change.

Richard Ayoade - in this foren, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey."

“Down to earth wisdom from a successful, creative entrepreneur” (New York Times–bestselling author Ken Abraham). Despite a childhood shadowed by financial disaster and a father who struggled with alcoholism, Aaron Walker has created opportunities where there appeared to be none—pushing through barriers and monumental hurdles to build a string of successful businesses. In this inspirational memoir, he reveals how he confronted bitterness, pushed through pride, and was granted grace for a horrifying pedestrian fatality. View from the Top recounts Aaron’s own powerful story—and shares techniques and strategies that will allow you to flourish regardless of your current circumstances. “There's an old saying I love: ‘Pray like everything depends on God, but work like everything depends on you.’ That could also be a great summary statement for View From The Top. Aaron Walker is a man who trusts God while putting a lot of sweat equity into everything he does. That balance of faith and diligence is something we all could learn from.” —Dave Ramsey, New York Times–bestselling author of The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness “For anyone who prefers reality over ‘reality shows’ . . . Aaron Walker’s View from the Top is as real, honest, and believable as it gets.” —Ken Abraham, New York Times–bestselling author of When Your Parent Becomes Your Child: A Journey of Faith Through My Mother’s Dementia

Instead of the quiet precollege summer she expects, Anabelle makes some surprising discoveries about herself as she navigates romantic entanglements and changing friendships.
