What is the right stuff?
How do they do it, those wizards of biz?
That's a question that millions all over the world want an answer to. What is it that makes a business-person more or less likely to be successful?
Is it luck? Talent? Funding? Education?
Predictably, the answer is " bit of everything".
Fortunately, one of the benefits of the popularisation of psychology has been the investigation of business success from a psychological point of view. Carnegie, Peters, Robbins, Covey, Tracy, Gerber, have all looked at what makes the great business-person tick. These authors, and many others, have produced books of distilled wisdom, which can be of tremendous value.
