Book description
Wield your power for greater influence and impact.
With formal authority comes power. But few people realize that informal power--the kind that doesn't come with a title--can have just as much impact. How do you use your power for greater influence?
This book explains how power affects our emotions, our behavior, and how we work with others. You'll learn how to use self-awareness to keep your power in check, connect with the right people to create more value, respond to abuses of power, and leave a lasting impression.
This volume includes the work of:
- Dan Cable
- Peter Bregman
- Harrison Monarth
