This book represents a major shift in the conversation on leadership, growth, and high performance. I want to shift the conversation from a focus only on you (i.e., here is how you can develop yourself) to a recognition that your own performance is either improved or diminished by the other people in your scenario. They hold power. Whereas most leadership advice and most business books focus on how you lead others, how you perform, and how you build your skills and competencies, this book will focus on the people—those others—who affect you and on the power you have as an other for them.
