If you want to 'change lives, change organizations, change the
world,' the Stanford business school's motto, you need power. Is
power the last dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While
power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can
be used for good or evil. Don't blame the tool for how some people
used it. Rooted firmly in social science research, Pfeffer's 7
rules provide a manual for increasing your ability to get things
done, including increasing the positive effects of your job
performance. With 7 Rules of Power, you'll learn, through both
numerous examples as well as research evidence, how to accomplish
change in your organization, your life, the lives of others, and
the world.
Up to 80 per cent of opportunities come from people who already know
you, so the more people you know, the more chance you have of winning
the new business or career you want.

From the creator of the Dear Businesslady column comes a fresh,
proactive book with advice for women entering the workforce as well
as those looking to move up the ladder. Everyone deals with some
nonsense early in their career-whether it's accepting a
less-than-ideal position just to get a foot in the door, or having
a manager who sleeps with his smartphone under his pillow and
expects his staff to do the same. But how do young professionals
know if the choices they're making are moving them closer to their
ultimate career goals? How do they know the answer when they ask
themselves, "Is This Working?" Courtney Guerra, a.k.a. The
Businesslady, knows how to set you on the path where you belong. In
a fun-to-read Q&A format, this book focuses on situations young
people are likely to encounter in the workplace, along with a set
of strategies you can use to get through them. In her signature
tone that has gained her hundreds of thousands of readers, Guerra
discusses topics relevant to young professionals, like how to make
the jump from "just a job" to a career in line with what you went
to school for, and how to stay productive when working from home at
an apartment filled with distractions. No matter what the scenario,
The Businesslady has the answer to get you on the path to long-term
career success.
