Not everyone can be in charge but, more importantly, not everyone should want to be. Richard Hytner, former Deputy Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi, believes it is time to celebrate the second-in-commands: from Merlin, to Al Gore, Rasputin to Machiavelli. Far from being also-rans, these are the deputies, the Vice Presidents, the C-suite and the department heads whose influence determines the fate of projects, corporations and even nations. Citing provocative research, Richard will deliver insights into some of the most powerful advisers from the world of business. Find out what motivates the so-called No. 2s, what makes them great and what bosses can do to help them flourish.
