Description
Using power well is more than a matter of good intentions. The path toward ethical, authentic, and effective use of power starts with this book. Combining cutting-edge psychological theory with practical exercises, real-world accounts of leadership challenges, and the author's personal stories from her career as a facilitator and coach, it aims to develop the reader's external authority to navigate high power roles and responsibilities, and to find personal power within.--Publisher.
