Publisher's summary

Adam Grant, the New York Times best-selling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos to find out what the world’s most visionary and influential leaders had to say about power—and its transformative role in our society.

What he learned there may surprise you.

Grant delivers a heady mix of captivating interviews, compelling data, and his unmistakably incisive and actionable analysis, to give us a crash course in power that both inspires and instructs from the front lines. In interviews with two dozen CEOs, start-up founders, top scientists, and thought leaders—including top executives at Google, GM, Slack, and Goldman Sachs, the CEO of the Gates Foundation, and NASA’s former chief scientist—he shares hard-earned insights on how to succeed in this new era of hyper-linked power. He also explores how power is reshaping everything from the workforce, to the rise of women in the office, to the influence of scientists on policy.

As pillars of traditional power are transformed by networks of informed citizens, the use of power is increasingly seen as a force for good in the world, from one that was once coveted to one that demands to be shared.

there should be more interview books like this

I really loved that I got to hear everybody in his or her own voice. It gives a sense of authenticity and gets me straight to the source while keeping the audiobook lively and easy to listen.

Okay

Started off very strong then went downhill toward the end of the book. I really liked Adam Grant's Give and Take book, so I was a little surprised by the lower quality of this book.

A perfect breakdown of power and influence. Everyone needs to set a few hours aside, grab a notebook, and tune in.

No Power Struggle Here

Refreshingly simple with its concept of such an intricate subject. I used two strategies before I finished listening. The talks are completely relatable and jampacked with people relevant to the conversations about power. Highly recommended!
