Synopsis

Turf battles, empire building, ego trips, favouritism - power struggles that arise from the win-lose perspective of power - short-circuit organizational communication, suppress creativity, punish those who take responsibility and create the gossip and grievances that plague today's workplace. This publication moves away from the traditional, finite notion of power to a new paradigm - one that expands and strengthens personal power, interpersonal influence and the ability to create powerful teams. In this blueprint for win-win performance, Michael Broom details the six principles of infinite power for achieving personal goals and the organization's vision: focus our energy on our own goals; think systematically; learn from differences; operate only from sound and current data; empower ourselves and others to resolve problems; and develop and use a diverse support system. Demonstrating that power is virtually unlimited when accrued through partnering and learning, this book shows how to apply the six principles to leadership, structures and policies, and management practices to create the focused and passionate culture of the infinite organization.
