Power and Influence

Power is not merely about authority or titles; it''s about generating energy, transforming potential into action, and transmitting influence across an organization to create real, lasting change. This book will show you how to use your personal influence, language, and political acumen to create real, lasting change in organizations.

Leadership and Organizational Dynamics

Through these pages, readers will explore the distinction between leadership and management and why that matters, the role of communication in creating new realities, and the importance of navigating organizational politics.

Power as a System

Discover how power, like a well-functioning grid, can illuminate new pathways to attain missional success and infuse limitless energy to power your organization for greater impact. By comparing organizations to power grids—vast, interconnected systems that require careful calibration—learn how the leaders in an organization play the role of energy generators which produce the energy that fuels progress, or transformers which channel and adapt energy into specific needs.

Leadership and Energy

But without strategic oversight, these systems can falter, leaving organizations in the dark or overloaded with inefficiencies. At its core, leadership is about power; if your organization is going to move, grow, or serve, its power and energy will come from someone. This book shows you how that someone can be you.
