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. Everyone has a resource to offer, so everyone has access to power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Battilana and Casciaro offer a timely, democratised vision of power. While hierarchies tend to stay in place because power is often sticky, by agitating, innovating and orchestrating change, they show how those with less power can challenge established structures to make them more balanced. They teach readers how to power-map their workplace to find who can create real change at work, plan for and cause sustaining power shifts, and understand the five motivations for seeking power - money and status, but also autonomy, achievement, affiliation and morality. They explore how these dynamics play out through vivid storytelling: as Donatella Versace successfully leads her brother's company after his death - despite having a title, but little influence; what social movements can learn from youth climate activists and how they can go farther; and how a manager can gain the trust of sceptical employees and improve the workplace. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003ePower, for All \u003c\/i\u003edemystifies the essential mechanisms for acquiring and using power for all people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Concentrated, accessible, and life-changing, \u003ci\u003ePower, for All \u003c\/i\u003eis the definitive guide to understanding and navigating power in our relationships, organisations and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43605754347698,"sku":"9780349425481","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780349425481_9433c16f-6910-48ef-93d0-81bb93f4519e.jpg?v=1786013364"},{"product_id":"9798892790970","title":"Hbr's 10 Must Reads on Leading With Purpose","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMake work meaningful—and unleash your organization's full potential.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you read nothing else on leading with purpose, read this book.

What happens to a society-and a planet-when capitalism outgrows democracy? The tensions between democracy and capitalism are longstanding, and they have been laid bare by the social effects of COVID-19. The narrative of \"essential workers\" has provided thin cover for the fact that society's lowest paid and least empowered continue to work risky jobs that keep our capitalism humming. Democracy has been subjugated by the demands of capitalism. For many, work has become unfair.  In Democratize Work, essays from a dozen social scientists-all women-articulate the perils and frustrations of our collective moment, but they also see the current crisis as an opportunity for renewal and transformation. Amid mounting inequalities tied to race, gender, and class-and with huge implications for the ecological fate of the planet-the authors detail how adjustments in how we organize work can lead to sweeping reconciliation. By treating workers as citizens, treating work as something other than an asset, and treating the planet as something to be cared for, a better way is attainable. Building on cross-disciplinary research, Democratize Work is both a rallying cry and an architecture for a sustainable economy that fits the democratic project of our societies.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311628628341,"sku":"9780226819624","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780226819624_b8d4c78e-d2d2-4d8f-bf2b-3dcc4df3aa41.jpg?v=1786012135"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-julie-battilana.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
