$a Leadership and the science of governing -- Be the leader with the plan -- Make the centre strong -- Prioritisation: try to do everything and you will likely do nothing -- Good policy is (nearly) always good politics -- It's all about the people -- Curb your bureaucracy but cultivate it -- Democracy or not, it's all about delivery -- The supreme importance of strategy -- Be a change-maker, not a place-holder -- Le suivi: delivering -- Sugaring the long-term changes: quick wins -- Nothing is inevitable in politics, neither defeat nor victory -- Your first duty: keeping people safe -- Lessons for the economy -- The rule of law -- The plague of ideology -- The technology revolution and the reimagined state -- Hold the press! Something big and breaking is going on -- Applying tech: a reimagined state in action -- Building the infrastructure -- Derangement, not rearrangement: what government can learn from tech -- International affairs: the importance of being consistent -- In foreign policy, personal relationships are built on trust -- Navigating the straits between the USA and China (and don't forget India) -- Foreign policy is becoming domestic policy -- How to negotiate -- Strategic communication: the difference between a narrative and a press release -- How to handle criticism, twenty-first-century style -- Scandal -- Politics in the era of social media -- Avoid paranoia, even though they are out to get you -- The Hinterland -- Hubris and nemesis -- You are never as knowledgeable or as smart as you think you are -- It's better to be respected than loved, feared or "trusted" -- Ambition: calculate too much, and you miscalculate -- Don't make enemies deliberately; you will make enough accidentally -- Create a constituency, not a clique -- Protect your legacy -- Leaving with grace.

$a Sir Tony has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted back in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was in office and since, through his Institute's work with political leaders and governments globally. Written in short, pithy chapters, packed with examples drawn from all forms of political systems from around the world, the books answers the key questions: How should a leader organize the center of government and his or her own office? How should he or she prioritize and develop the right plan and hire the right personnel, cope with unforeseen events and crises, and balance short-term wins with long-term structural change? What's the best way to deal with an obstructive or inert bureaucracy, to attract investment, to reform healthcare or education, and to ensure security for the citizen? And how should governments harness the massive opportunities of the 21st-century technological revolution?--Dust jacket.
