Managing with Power

Managing with Power, by Stanford Business School professor Jeffrey Pfeffer, provides an in-depth look at the role of power, and shows how power is used, the conditions under which power and influence are important, and how to manage the political dynamics at work in every organization. Pfeffer shows convincingly that not only is power not a dirty work, its effective use is an essential component of strong leadership. With vivid examples from both the public and private sectors, Managing with Power, provides a fascinating look at the personal attributes and structural factors that are essential for anyone striving to manage with power and influence.
