Examples: Effective Team Building / 7-Habits ... by S. Covey / Miller's Bolt - A Modern Business Parable by Thomas Stirr/The Paths of Leadership by Andrew T. Le Peau ./ The Heart of A Leader - Insights on the Art of Influence by Ken Blanchard ..
4.I have yet to decide on specific approach on how to write the paper. For now to start with, the approah is by an outline as well by way explanation on the key roles of power in relation to strategic management.
5.I am starting to write down as much as possible - ideas, theories, and descriptions of power. To analayze their relevance to past and contemporary management practices - such as " The Power of Under-Table"= An art of securing business deals ... Power dressing to influence ...
