In this guide to understanding and using personal power in organizational settings, Fairholm (professor emeritus, leadership, Virginia Commonwealth University) outlines 22 power tactics that leaders can use in work, social, recreational, religious, military, and other organizations. This second edition offers more details on applying the 22 tactics, an updated analysis of the theory behind the tactics, and new chapters on the use of power in multinational work groups and the use of power by middle managers. The tactics comes with activities, self-evaluations, and discussion questions. Visual learners are aided by 20 summary tables, and two diagrams of the power-use process. * Reference \u0026amp; Research Book News *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntroduction: The History and Theory of Power\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Defining Power in Work Group Operations\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 1:\u003c\/b\u003e Elements of a Definition \u003cb\u003eChapter 2:\u003c\/b\u003e Defining the Forms of Power \u003cb\u003eChapter 3:\u003c\/b\u003e Bases of Power \u003cb\u003eChapter 4:\u003c\/b\u003e Using Power Politics in Organizational Life Part I Issues and Activities \u003cb\u003ePart II: Power Use: Tactical and Strategic Models\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 5:\u003c\/b\u003e A Power Use Model \u003cb\u003eChapter 6:\u003c\/b\u003e Power Use Tactics: Application of Power on the Job \u003cb\u003eChapter 7:\u003c\/b\u003e Using Power in the Organization Part II Issues and Activities \u003cb\u003ePart III: Power Interventions That Work\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 8:\u003c\/b\u003e Tactics Used with Superiors \u003cb\u003eChapter 9:\u003c\/b\u003e Power Tactics Used with Peers \u003cb\u003eChapter 10:\u003c\/b\u003e Tactics Used with Subordinates \u003cb\u003eChapter 11:\u003c\/b\u003e Comparing Tactics \u003cb\u003eChapter 12:\u003c\/b\u003e How Inner Leaders Get Willing Compliance \u003cb\u003eChapter 13:\u003c\/b\u003e Using Power in Multinational Groups Part III Issues and Activities \u003ci\u003eAppendix\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABC-CLIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017762931031,"sku":"9780313379765","price":40.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780313379765.jpg?v=1750774587","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/organizational-power-politics-tactics-in-organizational-leadership-9780313379765","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
