For every 'powerful person' who has influenced history, there are three or four without whom history would never have changed. Vision and drive for implementation are never enough. Dirk Schlimm's book is about how to accomplish the work of real change in the real world by doing the hard work that rarely gets noticed."

"Having practiced law acting mostly for major corporations for almost 40 years, I have learned that a major key to success is influencing and managing people effectively, particularly powerful people. While this is certainly true for professional service providers, it is equally true in essentially all human endeavors. Dirk Schlimm's "Influencing Powerful People" provides invaluable insights into this dynamic; insights that will assist anyone to be more effective and successful.
