Conversations with the Chiefs of Staff to world leaders ranging from Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris and John Howard to Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair and Julia Gillard.
We all know the names- Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris, Tony Blair, Justin Trudeau, John Howard, Sanna Marin, Nelson Mandela, and Julia Gillard. But what about the people standing just behind them?
In The Right Hand, Missing Perspectives founder Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks sits down with the chiefs of staff to some of the most defining presidents and prime ministers of our time.
The stories they share are nothing short of extraordinary-

Being sent home from Balmoral by the Queen.
Fielding offers of help from Vladimir Putin on the day of the September 11 attacks.
Being shown projected death tolls in the Covid briefing room.
Boarding a blacked-out train into Kyiv under the cover of night at the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Aiding Kamala Harris during one of the most anticipated elections in history - and then navigating a devastating loss.
Also, Justin Trudeau doesn't drink coffee.
In this book, some of the world's most powerful chiefs of staff open up about leadership, loyalty, power and pressure.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be in the highest corridors of power, this is your all-access pass.
