Do you think Albert Einstein had his act together by his mid-20s? Think again. Would you assume style icon and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn's life was always as beautiful as she was? Far from it. At the other end of the spectrum is revolutionary Steve Jobs, who was at the top of his game by age 25, yet faced challenges like adoption, bullying, and a tumultuous personal life. This engaging exploration delves into the lives of 25 iconic figures—from Toni Morrison to Golda Meir and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart—highlighting their mid-twenties experiences and the choices that shaped their historic contributions. For those coming of age today, and for those invested in their futures, these profiles offer inspiration and guidance. The stories illustrate that turning points leading to success and happiness occur at various times and under diverse circumstances. Some individuals create their own turning points, while others build on life events. Many who appeared to have their lives figured out at 25 had already faced significant struggles, while others who seemed lost at that age later made profound impacts on the world. These narratives affirm that the path to greatness is unique for everyone.

"What do people know who are able to exert influence and advance their careers? What is the secret that they understand so well? I would say that they grasp a very simple relationship: the connection between communication, recognition, and influence,''contends Dilenschneider, CEO of the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, in this authoritative handbook on leadership strategies. He argues that heightened competition and corporate takeovers have created an extremely volatile and challenging business climate, and draws on his own experiences in coping with crises (e.g., the cyanide contamination of shipments of Chilean grapes to the U.S. in March 1989) by cultivating good relations with the ``iron triangle'' of press, government and special interest groups. Quality work and accountability, Dilenschneider stresses, are an executive's basic responsibilities, while open, ethical communication remains a crucial skill.
