Your future is at risk. All the old rules of power and influence have changed. To succeed you need to understand and embrace the new rules. Technology and the era of globalization have revolutionized the ways to build, keep, and assure success. To cope with these changes, adapt, and accomplish your goals, you not only must gain power, but apply it with wisdom. In Power and Influence: The Rules Have Changed, master power broker and communications maestro Robert Dilenschneider arms you with the intellectual, technical, and moral weapons-the power tools that you need to get ahead and stay ahead in this increasingly competitive world. He reveals how by acquiring the power and influence you seek and wielding it in a techno-savvy, ethical manner, you can not only advance your personal interests, but also shape a more prosperous future for society at large. Drawing upon the lessons he learned from his own adaptation to the digital age as well as knowledge gleaned from 1,000 drivers of change in all fields of business, Dilenschneider distills this hard-won experience into ten universal principles for success in a technology-driven volatile economy. This book also includes anecdotes and insights that further illustrate ways you can acquire and amplify your power. You'll read about well-known visionaries the author has encountered during his illustrious career, as well as everyday people, whose prior know-how and good sense enabled them to succeed. Most people don't understand power, let alone how to use it effectively. Reading Power and Influence: The Rules Have Changed will ensure that you live up to your professional potential, meet the demands of today's warp-speed world, and achieve personal happiness.

In today's ultra-competitive, lean-and-mean workplace, your professional success won't be determined by your family background, college affiliation, or educational major. Your intelligence, talent, drive, and ambition ... don't matter, either. As no-nonsense Manhattan executive and international business consultant Robert L. Dilenschneider shows you in this enlightening, invaluable book, your success will depend on one thing only: learning the ropes of the working world - and figuring out how to be happy within it - during the first fourteen years of your professional life. Why fourteen years? Because once you approach your mid-to-late thirties, you won't be easily forgiven for business mistakes - for power struggles with the boss or cluelessness about marketing yourself, for mishandling office politics, or for the negative attitude that comes from feeling "stuck" in an ill-fitting career. If you don't fit in, you're liable to be considered "work illiterate," and your opportunities will be limited accordingly. It's imperative to know the ways of the work world, but with today's volatile economy and downsized companies, older generations are often too busy - or too threatened - to guide you. Now, in The Critical 14 Years of Your Professional Life, Dilenschneider offers himself as that necessary mentor. He guides you on using your own Critical 14 Years to put yourself on the path to unlimited opportunity - within your current job, into the next one, or in your own business. He explains why you are ideally positioned for success in the twenty-first century and why success and happiness don't have to be mutually exclusive.
