Book Review of Keltner D (2017): The Power Paradox How We Gain and Lose Influence.New York, Penguin

Abstract

This book is about leadership in the twenty-first century. In this century, a leader’s power is no longer a Machiavellian individual’s grab for power over others within a hierarchy; instead, a leader’s power is given to them by others in the team. But that power can corrupt the leader into becoming an “abuser” of those in the team. It should be read by all leaders and researchers of leadership.
