Abstract
As we have seen, the phenomenon of success has a special fascination for those who wish to understand it, and even more so for those who seek it. It is an eternal topic of conversation and a subject avidly pursued, not just by journalists and gossip columnists, but also by many serious writers and analysts, who tirelessly monitor, research and pontificate on the reasons for success and on the special qualities of the successful. We find this fascination in the arts, in sport, in the entertainment world, in politics, and not least in business and industry.
