The Power Project

a tale of two centuries

“You need a large idea, a wide idea - and most of these happen at night, when you dream. Then for the details, take on others. Let them do the job... You have to economise your strength. To be very, very economic. Your purpose is to change the situation - and everything is committed to that central idea.

There will be many failures, and disappointments. It will cost more. It will take more time. It will call for more effort. Okay. But don't give up. Usually people give up five minutes before victory. If they gave another five minutes, they would win."

Based on interviews with world leaders, spanning 25 years, this new work explores contemporary power, through the hearts and minds of people who shape our lives.
