I’ve just finished the quarter (what a sprint, sorry for the blog silence) and a fantastic block week course: Paths to Power.

Power is a reality, a good one that gets things done, therefore everybody would be better off if at least we understand how it works. Fantastic class. If you want to get a feeling of what goes on in the class, get Pfeffer’s book, very clear, structured and interesting book:

Managing With Power: Politics and Influence in Organizations: Books: Jeffrey Pfeffer

We’ve had some fantastic classes, covering the cases of Jay Leno and David Letterman, Robert McNamara (pictured) or Noël Forgeard of Airbus (EADS) fame.
