On Having Power
The Source of Power
Smith, Les
ISBN 13: 978-1-897381-51-9
Paperback; perfect bound; 7 x 10
Sample Excerpt, © Rain Publishing Inc.
Introduction
The book to follow can be described in a number of ways.
Some might say this is a self help business book designed for people who are frustrated with, or curious about, the concept and practice of power between people in the workplace and at home. It will appeal to leaders and followers, Actors and Subjects, in any private or public sector work environment. Young fresh business people need to understand this process to survive it. Business leaders need to understand this process so they do not abuse it. So in these pages I offer an explanation of what power is, how power works and how you can overcome it to have your own true power
Some might say this is a disguised normative theory of power with a revised taxonomy offered within the context of the modern free market work environment. It will appeal to young thinkers and activists who are interested in having influence and sway. In these pages I attempt to explain how power works and why it works when it works and fails when it fails.
Some might say it is a disguised new age relationship book for people who want to understand the human condition and rise above it. It will appeal to those who are seeking some intellectual but practical step along the road to understanding who and what they are. In these pages I have offered the simple explanation I have discovered as to why we pursue power.
To me however, though all of the above are true, this book is my attempt to address the question that has plagued me all of my life: Is Power a good thing or a bad thing? ………
