How is power acquired? Are there strategies and tactics that people can learn to increase their chances of becoming more powerful? Richard Brislin claims there are. In this work, he reveals the unwritten rules for obtaining power and presents an analysis of power as a tool in developing clout and in implementing decisions. The book provides a framework for looking at why and how certain groups of people have a greater understanding of power's role in the worlds of business, education, human services, law, and politics. Written in a highly readable style, the work integrates relevant scholarly literature with interviews of more than one hundred powerholders.
