    About this audiobook

    Brimming with counterintuitive advice, numerous examples from various countries, and surprising findings, this groundbreaking guide reveals the strategies and tactics that separate the winners from the losers. Power is a force that can be used and harnessed not only for individual gain but also for the benefit of organizations and society. Power, however, is not something that can be learned from those in charge - their advice often puts a rosy spin on their ascent and focuses on what should have worked, rather that what actually did. Instead, Pfeffer reveals the true paths to power and career success. Iconoclastic and grounded in the realpolitik of human interaction, Power is an essential organizational survival manual and a new standard in the field of leadership and management.

    • 4/5
      Great book about politics and influence in the workplace.
    • 3/5
      I usally like Pfeffer's stuff, but this one was a bit disappointing.
    • 2/5
      Robin Hanson's citation got me here. Uninmpressed. Short book, nothing new, Machiavellianism.
    • 2/5
      He could've condensed the key takeaways into a PowerPoint Slide. Book was full of long and rambling examples supporting some very basic key takeaways. I got super bored throughout most of the book. Wish I'd just read the cliff notes.
    • 5/5
      Great book, full of sound ideas and useful information that everyone must know.
