Recenzii

Not all uses of office politics are ethically out of bounds; in fact, the smart use of interpersonal power in group situations is a key to success for the individual and the organization. In this guide to understanding and using personal power in organizational settings, Fairholm (professor emeritus, leadership, Virginia Commonwealth University) outlines 22 power tactics that leaders can use in work, social, recreational, religious, military, and other organizations. This second edition offers more details on applying the 22 tactics, an updated analysis of the theory behind the tactics, and new chapters on the use of power in multinational work groups and the use of power by middle managers. The tactics comes with activities, self-evaluations, and discussion questions. Visual learners are aided by 20 summary tables, and two diagrams of the power-use process.
