Power: Why Some People Have It―and Others Don't

I have read this book multiple times. It’s very relevant and helpful book

The book is great quality in paper and print. How the read is I have yet to know, but I am sure it varies individually. So if the quality of the material is what you are curious about. Clean, perfect, go for it, no thoughts.

Good Book - deals with the subject very objectively and meaningfully

This book is an immensely useful resource on how to survive and thrive in the big bad world of corporate politics and power. The key message is that the corporate politics and power games are for real and it is the your responsibility to understand these and play the game to your advantage. The author accepts the facts as they are and advises the managers to take care of their best interests without feeling bad or guilty about it.

The book is high standard and needs patient reading to comprehend the concepts the author has discussed.

Nothing you didn’t know and yet a reminder

I started reading this book as part of my course reading. It took me a while to digest the concept of power as inevitable in one's career. The initial chapters present compelling arguments to ease you into this. Post that, it was a great read - making notes to self and figuring out ways to implement it.

Good

One of the Best books that everyone has to read, it’s like vitamine for your life

Ottimo libro non solo per professionisti Narrativa eccezionale Facile e chiaro

Si

Interesting read, most of seems accurate, especially in more corporate settings but some relevant in any organisation. An eye openner as to how some people operate and why it's hard for less socially astute technical staff to progess to C-Suite. Read this before embarking up the greasy pole and you are less likey to be supprised by others behaviour, and better equipped if you still want to take that route.

Similar to Robert Greene’s approach to power, that it’s inevitable and unavoidable so why not play the game, this book shows power struggles in a matter of fact way. This book does not propose unethical behaviour, but simply a realistic approach. There are also key benefits to seeking power, such as doing good and improving health. Overall a good manual for power.
