About this listen

 Imagine a typical day in the office where threats are constant. You are always protecting something; you are always fighting someone; everything is a secret; any delay in responding is dangerous, or even deadly. A political chief of staff is a curious, high-octane role - little-known to those outside the corridors of power, yet enormously influential within.

Chiefs of staff are our political system's ultimate insiders. Prime Ministers, Presidents, Premiers and other political leaders around the globe rely on their counsel, their discretion and their ability to manage the backroom business of government. To survive in this role, a person must be a skilled communicator, an excellent multi-tasker, fiercely loyal, judiciously discreet, and perhaps most importantly, be able to survive on minimal sleep. To thrive is to become part-strategist, part- therapist, part-parent and even part-psychic for some of the most powerful people in the world.

In The Right Hand, founder of media platform Missing Perspectives Phoebe Saintilan surveys recent world-shaping events by profiling the chiefs of staffs to some of the world's best-known leaders.

The Right Hand is peppered with never-before-told stories and insights into some of the world's most loved leaders, giving readers new perspectives of significant sociocultural and political events they felt they already knew, offering a glimpse behind the curtain that so often conceals the machinations of power, as well as presenting a vibrant narrative of the real-world West Wing and profound insight into this oft-mentioned but little-explained role.©2025 Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks (P)2025 Penguin Random House Australia Audio Essays Political Science Politicians Politics & Activism Politics & Government Presidents & Heads of State Women in Politics
