Most leaders today receive no real education about power--and neither do citizens, front-line workers, or middle managers. The few who do are often taught that power and ethics are separate.

Produktbeschreibung
Most leaders today receive no real education about power--and neither do citizens, front-line workers, or middle managers. The few who do are often taught that power and ethics are separate. This widespread ignorance isn't inevitable. In this engaging and deeply practical exploration, Dr. Douglas Board and the Revd Martin Henwood draw on decades of experience to introduce readers to the essential principles of power--both basic and advanced. Through thirty-six firsthand incidents and twenty more from the public sphere, they expose how power operates across institutions and everyday life, from corporate backrooms and hospital wards to churches, schools, and government. Their examples include the Horizon scandal, whistleblowing at Uber, and the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The authors show that an intellectually rigorous and accessible education about power is possible--and urgently needed. If future generations can learn to recognize and handle power safely, they may avoid the failures of today's leaders. Unflinching yet hopeful, this groundbreaking guide helps readers analyze their own experiences, confront the abuse of authority, and imagine a more accountable, compassionate, and connected world.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Douglas Board is an executive coach and the author of five books--including two novels--on leadership and power. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and served as a member of the King's Counsel Selection Panel until 2024. His most recent book, Elites, was described by the Financial Times as "profound, subversive and often very funny." The Revd Martin Henwood DL is a priest in the Church of England and Vicar of Holy Trinity, Dartford. Trained in group analysis, he has served as Bishop's Adviser on regeneration, chaired an NHS authority and school governing bodies, and draws deeply from the mystical wisdom traditions of many faiths--committed to turning spirituality into action.
