Most people assume power is predetermined by personality or wealth, or that it''s gained by strong-arming others. Many write it off as inherently corrupt or ''dirty'' and want nothing to do with it. But as pioneering researchers Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro deftly show in \u003ci\u003ePower, for All\u003c\/i\u003e, power is the ability to influence someone else''s behaviour. This influence is derived from having access to valued resources, which anyone can have, regardless of their income or status in life.

A central cause is the lack of a concrete, usable model for thinking through how to diagnose and shift power dynamics. In \u003ci\u003ePower for All, \u003c\/i\u003eBattilana and Casciaro fill this void by providing both a model and numerous case studies to illustrate how each one of us can manage power to more productive ends -- \u003cb\u003eRoger Martin, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003ePlaying to Win\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePower, for All \u003c\/i\u003eis an instant classic: a brilliantly conceived, beautifully written and highly informative guide to the critical but often misunderstood phenomenon of power.

Their conclusions, rooted in research and world-wide reporting, show that power can be dirty but in honorable hands, can also be an enormous force for good.
