7 Rules of Power
In Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book, 7 Rules of Power, he lists the following rules.
Get out of your own way.
Break the rules.
Show up in powerful fashion.
Create a powerful brand.
Network relentlessly.
Use your power.
Understand that once you have acquired power, what you did to get it will be forgiven, forgotten, or both.
Do you currently follow any of these rules?
Are there any you would like to do more of?
Are there any that make you uneasy or that you think would not work for you?
What are the best ways in your mind to be powerful when you do not fit the current image of a powerful leader?
Can you list examples of powerful people who are like you?
