In Games Without Thrones, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra show how we can all learn from oligarchs, even if we don’t like them. These masters of uncertainty have found their moment again in the early 21st century, when several existential threats have overturned our ability to predict the future. Paradoxically, oligarchs hold the intellectual keys that will enable the rest of us to exploit the coming storms. This book describes these keys as eight
leadership lessons that can become a new playbook, enabling all of us to play and win the new
games without thrones.
This book makes three major points:
• Oligarchs are at the center of our worlds now, shaping the global economy in which we all
work and the politics that help determine our life choices. Understanding their centrality is
key to understanding how the world works.
• Oligarchs provide us with eight lessons to enable us to be more effective leaders. The first
three lessons comprise their distinctive Weltanschauung or worldview. They see the world
very differently than the rest of us.
• Oligarchs offer us five specific strategies―four of which were first elaborated in our The
Oligarchs’ Grip and developed further in our forthcoming The Oligarchs of the Americas―to
lead during times of crisis and turbulence. Those times are likely to dominate our
professional lives, no matter where we live.

Acerca del autor
David Lingelbach is a professor of entrepreneurship at The University of Baltimore’s Merrick School of Business and co-author of The Oligarchs’ Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power, which was a finalist for a 2024 Business Book Award and a 2023 Goody Business Book Award and has been reviewed by outlets such as Financial Times, L’Opinion, and Times Literary Supplement. This book was also listed on several 2023 “best books of the year” lists. David is also the founding executive chair of The Center for the Study of Oligarchs (www.oligarchcenter.org), an independent research center dedicated to the study of the causes, dynamics, characteristics, consequences and strategies associated with oligarchs. He has also taught at the Johns Hopkins University’s Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. Dr. Lingelbach was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of Exeter, from which he received a Ph.D. in management studies. Dr. Lingelbach has studied oligarchs for more than a quarter century. His interest in them began in Russia, where he lived and worked for five years. He was Russia Country Director for Citizens Development Corps (1994-1995); President and CEO of CARESBAC-Saint Petersburg (1995-1996), one of Russia’s first venture capital funds; and CEO of Bank of America’s businesses in the former Soviet Union (1996-1999). In these roles, he met and worked with some of the oligarchs featured in The Oligarchs’ Grip, including Vladimir Putin and Mikhail Fridman. He has also researched oligarchs in Latin America and the Caribbean; North America; Europe and Central Asia; East Asia and the Pacific; the Middle East and North Africa; South Asia; and Sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Lingelbach is the recipient of numerous research and teaching awards, including a 2018-19 Fulbright to Myanmar; a 2021 Fulbright Specialist to Colombia; and two nominations for an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship.
Valentina Rodríguez Guerra is the co-author of The Oligarchs’ Grip and lead co-author of The Oligarchs of the Americas: From the Conquistadores to Silicon Valley, to be published by De Gruyter in 2026. She is the founding executive director of The Center for the Study of Oligarchs. She has written about oligarchs for international media such as The Messenger and The Hill, has been interviewed by media outlets such as Financial Times and Talk TV, and has spoken about oligarchs at the European Council’s Venice Commission, the Bristol Festival of Economics, and the Symi Symposium. Valentina is a PhD candidate in the Faculdad de Administracion, Universidad de Los Andes, a candidate for a MBA, and holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration, the latter two from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL) in Bogotá, where she was a researcher in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Unit of the university’s Faculty of Economic Sciences. She has worked as an investigator for Colombia’s Contraloría General de la República (Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic) and Procuraduria de la Nación (Office of the Inspector General). She was a member of UNAL’s MIND (Mentes Ingeniando y Diseñando) team, which won one of the top awards at NASA’s 2022 HERC (Human Exploration Rover Challenge). Ms. Rodríguez was also a principal member of the team that designed and implemented the university’s groundbreaking 2021 Fulbright exchange.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
