"Our clout is the core of our personal influence. It can be used correctly for exciting and fulfilling results or it can be used wrongly for disappointing and nagging results. It can be rooted in a source bigger than ourselves, which is wisdom, or it can be homespun and tied down by a 'me only' perspective. It can be maximized with a few tools and it can be customized with a few tips. . . . Steve and Tom have provided a personal book full of fun stories and ready-to-apply guidance. Clout is for anyone hoping to better understand and improve their personal influence. It is timely, and it has the potential to change your life. Don't miss a page."
