By believing that life is fair, we tend to subscribe to the \"just-world phenomenon,\" which leaves us unprepared for the challenges and competition of the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Pfeffer brings decades of his incredible insights to a wider audience. Brimming with counterintuitive advice, numerous examples from various countries, and surprising findings based on his research, this groundbreaking guide reveals the strategies and tactics that separate the winners from the losers. Power, he argues, 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 than what actually did. Instead, Pfeffer reveals the true paths to power and career success. Iconoclastic and grounded in the realpolitik of human interaction, \u003cem\u003ePower\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential organizational survival manual and a new standard in the field of leadership and management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9.22 x 6.33 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 14, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45151156699238,"sku":"9780061789083","price":40.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/UDZpekZxamZGT2p4SDF0WkpjVCtkZz09.webp?v=1773395430","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/power-why-some-people-have-it-and-others-dont-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
