Lusk: A Campaign Professional’s Guide to Winning New Zealand Campaigns

has written A Campaign Professional's Guide to Winning New Zealand Campaigns. He's releasing it a chapter at a time on .

The first chapter is on the need to start with a good candidate. His first point is a good candidate should be friendly and outgoing. He suggests the following tests:

  • Can they walk into a room of strangers and enjoy it?
  • Do they have charisma?
  • Do they have a prodigious work ethic?
  • Are they are a fighter?
  • Avoid “ takers” and “sinners”
  • Are they realistic about their chances and career prospects?

This is more a guide for campaign managers than candidates, but prospective candidates would find much of it useful also.
