The Laws Of Power - E-book - ePub

Power has always governed human dynamics. However, few deeply understand its subtleties and end up victimized in the clashes of corporate and public politics. This book unveils The Fundamental Laws of Interpersonal Power, adding historical and philosophical lessons. Its aim is to create leaders capable of gaining positions of influence.  At the same time, it makes it possible to identify and neutralize attempts at manipulation by those who have already mastered these Laws.
The principles presented apply universally to work, private and public life. It will therefore benefit both ambitious executives and ordinary people eager to improve personal relationships. In just a few pages, each Law condenses teachings from different cultures and eras on crucial elements of human coexistence and progress: ethics, empathy, assertive communication, emotional resilience, systemic vision and many others.
These are powerful tools available to anyone genuinely interested in expanding influence through examples and achievements that speak louder than words. The book includes practical applications of each Law in situations such as persuading groups, dealing with crises, forming strategic partnerships, managing conflicts and making collective decisions. It is therefore a powerful contemporary synthesis of the highest leadership philosophy ever conceived, extensively covering its ethical, psychological and pragmatic flanks.
Essential reading for anyone unwilling to remain defenceless in the face of the centuries-old hoaxes of the hidden wielders of influence, or to perpetuate them unconsciously.
