If you want to “change lives, change organizations, change the world,” per the Stanford business school’s motto, you need power. Is power the dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can be used for good or evil. Don’t blame the tool for how some people have used it. If fully understood and harnessed effectively, power skills and understanding become the keys to increasing salaries, job satisfaction, career advancement, organizational change, and happiness.

In 7 Rules of Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, provides the insights that have made both his online and on-campus classes incredibly popular—with life-changing results often achieved in 8 or 10 weeks. Rooted firmly in social science research, Dr. Pfeffer’s 7 rules provide coaches (and leaders) a tool for increasing their ability to get things done, including increasing the positive effects of job performance. In this engaging and interactive webinar, coaches will learn about the “7 rules” and how to apply them impactfully in the lives of clients and beyond.
