It has frequently been remarked that Donald Trump is the luckiest man alive, but this week, the emphasis in the sentiment moved emphatically to the word “alive”. He literally almost dodged a bullet, save for a bit of ear.

Commentators are already speculating on how his lucky break might be sufficiently career enhancing to win back the presidency. Setting aside the dramatic nature of his luck this week, we should not be surprised when luck rears its head in career success.

Being in the right place at the right time can be all it takes to get a leg........
