Power Management
You will be amazed at how much power you use, how often it is used against you, and how you are influenced.
Strength
It is a concept that we all know, that we use and are exposed to frequently in all areas of life, that is motivating for some, scary for some, and a necessity for others.
It is a subject that is desired, admired, sought to be acquired and protected on the one hand, and considered private and avoided on the other.
It is a resource that is always in front of our eyes and that we overlook, that we need in order to make something happen, whether we are good at acquiring and using it or not.
One of the most important of our dirty little secrets.
Leadership
Although there is a wide literature about its history, types and approaches, it is a subject that is rarely studied in terms of having power and using power.
This book does not promise to tell you anything other than examples that you have been through and will say “yes, I know this very well” when you read it. It offers to provide the necessary information and examples to help you realize, make sense of and interpret what you are going through in an academic context.
You can close your eyes and look the other way.
Or you can understand power and strive to use it for your purposes.
The choice is yours.
