Elites by Douglas Board
Can you rise to the top without losing your soul?
'Interesting, profound, serious, subversive, often very funny' - Financial Times, 'You might expect Elites to be a simple guide to how to make it or a description of the traits and characteristics of those at the topInstead, it is something much more interesting and controversial' - Forbes, 'Essentially about the ethics of power, Elites is written from the heart. I loved it' - Christina Patterson, 'Quite fascinating...a really refreshing book, written really differently to most books of this kind' - Bobby Kerr, Newstalk, 'This book couldn't be more timely. It explains how the barely competent but entitled occupy elite positions in our organisations and in society in general' - Gareth Jones
