Is power the last dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can be used for good or evil. Don't blame the tool for how some people have used it. If fully understood and harnessed effectively, power skills and understanding become the keys to increasing salaries, job satisfaction, career advancement, organizational change, and happiness. In 7 Rules of Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, provides the insights that have made both his online and on-campus classes incredibly popular—with life-changing results often achieved in 8 or 10 weeks. Rooted firmly in social-science research, Pfeffer's 7 rules provide a manual for increasing your ability to get things done, including increasing the positive effects of your job performance. The 7 rules are: 1) Get out of your own way. 2) Break the rules. 3) Show up in powerful fashion. 4) Create a powerful brand. 5) Network relentlessly. 6) Use your power. 7) Understand that once you have acquired power, what you did to get it will be forgiven, forgotten, or both. With 7 Rules of Power, you'll learn, through both numerous examples as well as research evidence, how to accomplish change in your organization, your life, the lives of others, and the world.

      Narrator Zac Aleman sounds knowledgeable and accessible to a wide range of listeners in this audiobook on business leadership. He's helped by the casual writing of the author, a popular Stanford business professor. But Aleman's relaxed confidence is all his own, making this audiobook an appealing presentation to hear and absorb. Among the many fascinating ideas the author offers is a rebuke of authenticity and humility as effective leadership qualities. He says most people don't respect openness and vulnerability in their authority figures; they want leaders to be competent first and friendly later. So don't hold back, he says, in sounding smart, decisive, and self-confident. With its many supportive anecdotes and studies, this is a must-hear for anyone who's serious about expanding their productivity, influence, and authority. T.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
