Review by Publisher's Weekly, 07/30/07
Power and Influence: The Rules Have Changed Robert L. Dilenschneider. McGraw-Hill, $22.95 (224p) ISBN 978-0-07-148976-8
Former Hill & Knowlton CEO Dilenschneider covers the bases on what those with power should do to retain and expand it, from keeping up with the times (or as he puts it, “Accept, Adapt, and Accelerate—or Atrophy”) to encouraging innovation, seizing opportunities and developing extensive networks of personal and professional contacts. Using examples from his own history as well as insights from other successful and influential business builders, Dilenschneider shares tried-and-true advice applicable to anyone who wants to get ahead and stay ahead in business management and ownership. Dilenschneider’s personal experiences are particularly interesting and instructive, such as his decision to leave his well-paid position at Hill & Knowlton when he realized the company was going in a direction he no longer agreed with, or his willingness to learn from those he admired, who in turn became generous mentors. He also discusses newer technologies and promotional techniques such as blogging. Dilenschneider has had a varied career, and the reader leaves this small volume wishing he had been willing to share more of it. | |

Review by Syndicated Business Writer Jim Pawlak, 07/29/07
“Power and Influence – The Rules Have Changed” by Robert Dilenschneider, McGraw-Hill, $22.95.
Book summary: Increase your knowledge; make connections and share what you know.
Power and influence don’t come to those who let things happen or those who wonder what happened. It doesn’t come to those playing solitaire and free cell in their spare time at work. It comes to those who use that time reading newspapers/books/magazines, online news/articles and blogs that provide information they can use to accelerate their success.
The author points out the importance of knowing what’s going on in our profession and the world: “It teaches us how to think, how to organize, how to express an argument, and how to observe the world as it evolves around us.” It also gives us something to share with others – a launching pad for dialogue (e.g. conversation, blog, email, snail mail, etc.) Knowledge is addictive. The more you have; the more you want.
Mr. Dilenschneider also stresses the need to make connections. Networking is the way to share what you know. He points out that a bulging Rolodex doesn’t mean much if you don’t maintain contact. It’s impossible to stay in contact with everyone, so you must select your “players” – those who could be your most valuable allies. You need to find out what information they need and provide it. Then tap into their “players” and do the same. Your reputation as the go-to person will spread – and with it your power and influence. In time, doors will open.
Personal stories of knowledge acquisition and connecting the dots with people show how it’s done.
