Power, Influence and Action: Making Leadership Work
by Lindsay Barker
There is no single leadership style but a series of behavioural patterns, which can be located along a power to influence spectrum between the limits of coercion and engagement. Some situations may demand coercion to demolish entrenched obstructions to achieving legitimate purposes. Here application of pure persuasive influence power would have little impact. At other points along the spectrum the use of coercive power would kill creativity and engaged followership.
This eBook is an insightful look at the attributes of leaders at all levels and what good leadership looks like when put into action.
