“Insightful and entertaining.”—Jack Welch, author of Winning
“Written as a kind of ‘Hardball Unplugged,’ [this book] is full of
clever anecdotes, pithy analysis, and folk wisdom.”—Douglas
Brinkley, editor of The Reagan Diaries
“Insightful, erudite . . . Fans will find Matthews’s honest
approach and hard-nosed rhetoric intact.”—Publishers Weekly
“A great book, and a fun read. People think that leaders ‘tell
people what to do.’ More frequently, leadership in business is
about selling teams on a vision, and leveraging friendship and
trust to get things done. Chris does a great job of bridging his
experience in politics with commonsense rules.”—Jeffrey Immelt,
chairman and CEO, General Electric
“Matthews loves and understands as well as anyone I know the
rituals, rules, and place of politics in our lives. And now
everyone reading this book has the opportunity to share his passion
and insights.”—Tom Brokaw, author of Boom! and The Greatest
Generation
