Power

Jeffrey Pfeffer presents a clear-eyed account of how power works in organisations and why some people advance while others stall. Drawing on decades of consulting and teaching, he challenges the idea that success follows from fairness alone and points to the tactics and choices that shape outcomes in the real world.

The result is a sharp, grounded synopsis of the strategies behind influence and advancement. It suits readers who want a direct understanding of workplace politics, leadership, and the forces that reward some careers over others.
