The Integrity of Power
|| Paperback || Oscar David || Warden Press || met inkijkexemplaar
We cannot avoid power; it pervades our life, from childhood into old age. We can feel powerless, or all-powerful. We can love power, or hate it. As long as we remain unaware of our own relationship with power, we are relinquishing a great deal of it because power always affects us, whether we are aware of it or not. The purpose of this book is to increase insight into what power is and how it works, and to encourage a greater awareness of the significance of power in our life and work. Self-k...

2018 || Paperback || Arend Ardon || Warden Press || met inkijkexemplaar

And we tend to subconsciously behave in a way that undermines employees’ initiative and sense of responsibility. To be able to break out of such sticky situations, you need to understand ho...

It is up to HR to take on the challenges of the workforce of the future an...
