Introduction : if you are not interested in success, put down this book and buy a latte
Attitude, risk, and luck : they are the most influential bosses
Bosses : you need a license to cut hair, but not to manage and control thousands of people
Peers : understand that they are your most valuable allies
or your most dangerous enemies
Rivals : defeat them with a siege, not a coup
The team you assemble : you risk your reputation with every hire and fire
The people you have to motivate : you are a fool if you think they love you
Outsiders with influence : be wary, be right, and be prepared to prove it
Position : get into place, whether you are a hunter, skinner, or diner
Culture : before you sign on, make sure it's a culture, not a cult
The new bosses : it's not the same old twentieth-century game
Afterword : bring heat and light to the room.
