Some people have it, and others don’t. Jeffrey Pfeffer explores why, in Power.

One of the greatest minds in management theory and author or co-author of thirteen books, including the seminal business-school text Managing With Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer shows readers how to succeed and wield power in the real world.

A relevant read for those seeking upward mobility

The author provided necessary steps and anecdotes concerning the topic of Power. I would like to know if there is a workbook associated with the book.

Highly recommend. Listened twice

I liked this book because it included practical use cases can than be adopted. I liked that it was honest and covered topics like “the cost of power”

There's a direct correlation between social status and health in adult life.

This book was very inline with the concepts of power that are found in "The Prince" but in a corporate context.

Good read

Lot of thought provoking ideas. It was definitely a good listen. I really like the examples.

The best book I read in 2021!

Highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow his/her influence and build a powerful personal brand. This book is the best in explaining the power dynamics in global enterprises and common misconceptions in career advancement. I found it very insightful and simply brilliant!
