Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 142 x 21. Weight in Grams: 410.

Reviews for The Powers to Lead. Soft, Hard, and Smart.
Nye has written better and more creatively on the importance of soft power as a political and diplomatic weapon than anyone else. Now he brings this knowledge and all his governmental and academic experience to bear on the oldest question in politics - how do leaders emerge and what distinguishes the good ones from the bad?
