Power Players know how to look the part without ever disrespecting their crew. They can talk to their team, be one of the many, but still work the top brass.
This is a very powerful skill to have and the very best Power Players effortlessly exhibit it time and time again. They are ‘of the people’, yet they can still somehow reach up and fit in with the chosen few.
It’s how Barack Obama and Bill Clinton became presidents. It’s how Warren Buffett connects with the average investor and the world-famous tycoons, all at the same time.
Power Players know there is a special place in heaven for people who can seamlessly work both ends of the socio-economic spectrum because they honestly feel comfortable in both.
What a rare and wonderful skill this is. Learn from the Power Players around you who can live in both worlds. It will serve you almost better than any other skill you acquire.
