Smith School of Business on October 8, 2013.

Will Hutton / The Guardian
Power is leaching from the centre, even as the complexities of national and international challenges multiply. It is the hallmark of our times. Whether political or religious leaders, CEOs or five-star generals – all are more constrained in what they can do.

Asharq Al-Awsat
Moisés Naím has drawn the attention of decision-making circles in Washington through more than one book on the Middle East. Of Libyan descent, Naím was raised in Venezuela, where he served briefly as the minister of trade and industry. He is, perhaps, most well-known for his 14 years at the helm of Foreign Policy magazine. He oversaw a renaissance at the publication, including the launch of an Arabic version. Unusual in his belief that power is not just changing hands today, it is declining, his latest book argues that it is becoming increasingly easy to lose power.

YOU SAY POWER HAS CHANGED. HOW?
Power has become perishable, transient, evanescent. Those in power today are likely to have shorter periods in power than their predecessors. I’m talking about military power and power in business, politics, religion. One of the most perplexing arenas in which this is happening is in the world of business where the conversation centres on the concentration of wealth in a few large companies. Of course there are large, powerful companies but a study by NYU professors shows that the probability of a company in the top 20% of the business sector remaining in that category five years hence has halved. The turnover rate of business executives is also increasing significantly. It is far more slippery at the top.
