POWER POSTURE. From all appearances, this brief part is a summary of what is to follow. But its objective is much more important. 1 would like to invite your closest collaboration. If we are successful, you will be weil on your way toward developing the ki nd of readiness reflex from which durable power springs. There are two essential facets to this potential.
