THE RIGHT USE OF POWER How Stewardship Replaces Leadership

An adaptation of the author’s book STEWARDSHIP, Block's program is an overview of the current trend toward collaborative power in complex organizations. The old system of top-down management, with all its parental and patriarchal characteristics, stifles both individual initiative and collective synergy. Though delivered in a conversational style, the ideas on accountability, competition, and power are well crafted and intellectually integrated. Though these ideas are not new, the author takes them to a level that makes them sound revolutionary and profound. A must-hear for those in leadership positions who need a lesson on how to create a more effective social order in organizations. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
