Wield Power Well

by David Meyer

Stanford School of Business professor Deborah Gruenfeld offers a primer in recognizing and utilizing various forms of power.

Stanford School of Business professor Deborah Gruenfeld regards power as a role you play, not an innate quality. She encourages readers to regard power in a more constructive and expansive way and provides guidance about using power appropriately and countering its abuse.

Professor Gruenfeld is co-director of the Executive Program in Women Leadership at Stanford and a board member of Stanford’s Center for the Advancement of Women’s Leadership. Power is her beat. She makes an impassioned case for reimagining powerful leadership as applied beneficence – acting effectively for the greater good.
