The book combines cutting-edge psychological theory with practical exercises, stories, and examples from the author’s experiences as a leadership coach and consultant to provide readers with the tools and instructions to find their unique map of powers.

“Reading Power: A User’s Guide is like engaging in multiple coaching sessions with a wise and trusted therapist—for the price of a book and your time. It is a deal well worth the cost.” —Pat McLagan, author, The Shadow Side of Power
