Kinds of Power: A Guide to its Intelligent Uses

In the boldest expose on the nature of power sinceÂ Â Machiavelli, celebrated Jungian therapist JamesÂ Â Hillman shows how the artful leader uses each of twoÂ Â dozen kinds of power with finesse and subtlety.Â Â Power, we often forget, has many faces, manyÂ Â different expressions. "Empowerment," writesÂ Â best-selling Jungian analyst James Hillman,Â Â "comes from understanding the widest spectrum ofÂ Â possibilities for embracing power." If foodÂ Â means only meat and potatoes, your body suffers fromÂ Â your ignorance. When your idea of food expands, soÂ Â does your strength. So it is with power.Â Â "James Hillman," says Robert Bly, "is theÂ Â most lively and original psychologist we have hadÂ Â in America since William James." InÂ Â Kinds Of Power, Hillman addressesÂ Â himself for the first time to a subject of greatÂ Â interest to business people. He gives much neededÂ Â substance to the subject by showing us a broadÂ Â experience of power, rooted in the body, the rnind, and theÂ Â emotions, rather than the customary narrowÂ Â interpretation that simply equates power with strength.Â Â Hillman's "anatomy" of power exploresÂ Â two dozen expressions of power every artful leaderÂ Â must understand and use, including: the language ofÂ Â power, control, influence, resistance, leadership,Â Â prestige, authority, exhibitionism, charisma,Â Â ambition, reputation, fearsomeness, tyranny, purism,Â Â subtle power, growth, and efficiency.
