The key to success lies in getting to the top - right?
Wrong. Not everyone can be No. 1, and more importantly, not everyone wants to be.
Consiglieri turns the spotlight on the second-in-commands - the advisers, assistants and counsellors (or 'consiglieri') - who are too often disparaged as the 'No. 2'. Far from being also-rans, these are the crucial vice-presidents, first lieutenants and right-hand men and women whose influence can determine the fate of countries, companies and individual ventures all over the world.
In this timely celebration of the done-down deputy, Richard Hytner (himself a former CEO and now deputy chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi) presents a remarkable array of powerful advisers, from Alastair Campbell and Hillary Clinton to Rasputin, Machiavelli and Peter Mandelson, and talks to outstanding consiglieri in contemporary business, politics, sport and the arts, revealing in the process what motivates these so-called No. 2s, what makes them great and what their bosses can do to help them flourish.
Stylish, clever and entertaining, Consiglieri is packed with invaluable advice for every kind of leader, whether in the limelight or the shadows. It may also be one of the wittiest business books ever.
Richard Hytner is Saatchi & Saatchi's Worldwide Deputy Chairman.
Following his No 1 brother to school, Hytner 2 never made it past the second 11 football team and played Lady Alice More (not the main man) in A Man for All Seasons. For four years, he studied the leading lights of Cambridge Footlights holding a spear. Lusting for centre stage, he became a serial advertising agency leader and in 2003 joined Saatchi & Saatchi as its Chief Executive for Europe, Middle East & Africa.
Aged 47, he concluded that he might, after all, be better suited to a leadership life in the shadows. Kevin Roberts, Capo Di Tutti Capi at Saatchi & Saatchi, agreed. So he made him Deputy Chairman. In 2011, he was appointed (not full but) Adjunct Associate Professor of Marketing at the London Business School.
He lives in London with his wife, Rosie and has two children, Joe and Sophie.
