Maxims of Politics: Making Government Work

Great leaders are made, not born. Just as effective C.E.O.s and politicians can learn the nuts and bolts of their positions by learning from others, so too can effective leaders apply a proven set of skills to the task of learning effective leadership techniques from the pages of history. Filled with examples and analysis from the canons of science, philosophy, literature, and religion, with application in military, political, and issue management campaigns, THE MAXIMS OF POLITICS identifies the 10 rules-to-lead-by that every leader should know. Developed and proven through a career in issue management that has spanned more than 20 years, Tom Mullikin's THE MAXIMS OF POLITICS can help a leader navigate the treacherous and as yet unchartered landscape of the emerging global marketplace. Much is expected from today's leaders. The issues are of great consequence: international trade, energy solutions, and global climate change. The THE MAXIMS OF POLITICS will enable tomorrow's leaders to rise to these new challenges.
