About the Book: Power
The summa of one of the greatest minds in management theory, this book shows
readers how to succeed and wield power in the real world.
After decades of consulting with corporations and teaching MBA students about
organizational power, Jeffrey Pfeffer has seen the pitfalls to which so many
people succumb. The problem: they dont have a realistic understanding of what
makes some people more successful than others. They subscribe to the "just world
phenomenon," believing that life is fair, rendering them unprepared for the
challenges and scrutiny of life in the real world.
This book brims with counterintuitive advice and surprising research.
