Kurzbeschreibung
Although much as been written about how to make better decisions, a decision by itself changes nothing. The big problem facing managers and their organizations today is one of implementation - how to get things done in a timely and effective way. Problems of implementation are really issues of how to influence behavior, change the course of events, overcome resistance, and get people to do things they would not otherwise do. In a word, power. "Managing with Power" provides an in-depth look at the role of power and influence in organizations. Pfeffer shows convincingly that its effective use is an essential component of strong leadership. With vivid examples, he makes a compelling case for the necessity of power in mobilizing the political support and resources to get things done in any organization. He provides an intriguing look at the personal attributes - such as flexibility, stamina, and a high tolerance for conflict - and the structural factors - such as control of resources, access to information, and formal authority - that can help managers advance organizational goals and achieve individual success.

Macht ist derzeit "in". Ebenso schnell wie neue Seminare zum Thema auftauchen, werden auch entsprechende Bücher auf den Markt geworfen - mit oftmals fragwürdiger Qualität. Das Buch von J.Pfeffer ist da eine seltene und schöne Ausnahme. In einem leicht lesbaren Stil werden machtbezogene Strategien und Taktiken aus der Sozialpsychologie und Organisationssoziologie abgeleitet und dargestellt. Konkrete Illustrationen aus der Welt der Politik und Wirtschaft veranschaulichen seine Thesen. J. Pfeffers Empfehlungen haben dabei gegenüber vielen anderen Werken einen entscheidenden Vorteil: Sie sind wissenschaftlich (und damit auch empirisch) fundiert. Jeder, der als Manager oder auch innerhalb einer Nonprofitorganisation mit der Entscheidungsfindung bzw. Entscheidungsumsetzung betraut ist, sollte dieses Buch unbedingt gelesen haben.
Format:Taschenbuch
Power is a rare coin: glittering, valuable, and hard to swallow. For many people power is unsavory, disgusting, an abrogation of all that our democratic ideals hold dear. Power corrupts, says the axiom, and our lives, our goals, our organizations prosper in joy and harmony only when it has not tainted the very air we breathe.
Stop kidding yourself. Power - politics, influence, authority wielded decisively - is what makes companies work, what allows organizations to function productively and effectively. And as Jeffrey Pfeffer argues in Managing with Power, power is not an evil miasma to be thwarted, but a tool to be seized and wielded. By recognizing the combination of techniques, strategies, tactics, and dynamics that underlie power, managers can use it successfully to accomplish and achieve.
Pfeffer's take on power therefore sidesteps classic moral quandaries regarding good and evil, means and ends. The world's problems are questions not of morals but of action - or rather, of inaction and passivity. Using Managing with Power, the reader can learn to diagnose the sources of power: how communication and allies create influence, why formal authority matters, and when location matters more. The reader can then study how power may be used effectively and how it may be lost in turn, by following Pfeffer as he analyzes the actions of corporate and political leaders (Lyndon Johnson, Henry Ford II, Roger Smith, et al.). His subjects are measured by their results and their actions; morality is rarely relevant.
Machiavelli would have loved this book, which may put it beyond the pale for many readers. Others attracted by the topic may be dissuaded by the scientific tone and language. Pfeffer is ever the calm observer, the dispassionate social psychologist, and his serenity at times traps the reader in sentences more intricate than articulate: "Needless to say, there were more and more such vacuums to be filled, as his reputation as someone who gets things done, in this case, by analysis, grew." And putting the style itself aside, readers expecting a handbook on how to become rich and powerful will be sorely disappointed. This is a meticulous and methodical analysis; it's not How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Nonetheless, if you're interested in power, if you want to understand the real basis of management and leadership (and why that distinction is immaterial), read this book. Managing with Power is thoroughly researched, theoretically grounded, and remarkably persuasive. Readers glutted by the soul-numbing pablum of most modern business writing will find here a book to stretch the mind and question the most instinctive beliefs. Does power corrupt? Power gets things done.

Found this to be a very informative book on politcs, and what issues need to be addressed to be "successful." As someone beginning a new job, I have found Pfeffer's book to be very instructional on how to "feel" ones way through the layers of management.
