Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"What do people know who are able to exert influence and advance their careers? What is the secret that they understand so well? I would say that they grasp a very simple relationship: the connection between communication, recognition, and influence," contends Dilenschneider, CEO of the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, in this authoritative handbook on leadership strategies. He argues that heightened competition and corporate takeovers have created an extremely volatile and challenging business climate, and draws on his own experiences in coping with crises (e.g., the cyanide contamination of shipments of Chilean grapes to the U.S. in March 1989) by cultivating good relations with the "iron triangle" of press, government and special interest groups. Quality work and accountability, Dilenschneider stresses, are an executive's basic responsibilities, while open, ethical communication remains a crucial skill. Executive Program/Macmillan Book Club dual main selection; Fortune Book Club alternate.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Gives a useful perspective on managing in a crisis.,
By P. Goodhart (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power and Influence: Mastering the Art of Persuasion (Paperback)
Regardless of RD's personal foibles, the book is a helpful perspective on managing in a crisis. It gave me some great insights. For example, when you think of Hyatt Hotels, you don't automatically think of the tragedy in Kansas City - or Tylenol - many people don't even remember the poisonings. There is a reason and he discusses both situations in the book. A helpful read for anyone dealing with crisis management or business continuity or enterprise risk management.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Power and Influence - a MUST read,
This review is from: Power and Influence: Mastering the Art of Persuasion (Hardcover)
Make sure that you have the time to read this book from "cover to cover" as the book is very difficult to put down.

1.0 out of 5 stars
bombast from an ego-maniac,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power and Influence: Mastering the Art of Persuasion (Paperback)
Let go from Hill & Knowlton in 1991 for allegedly fabricating client scenarios and terrorizing his staff, Dilenschneider's advice should be taken with a grain of salt.
