What would happen in organizations if leaders used their power to encourage the full participation of subordinates?
Every day we read about leaders who abuse their power in ways that discourage the full engagement of subordinates.
Douglas R. Bunker, an organizational psychologist, proposes ways managers can create positive relationships with their subordinates that promote exceptional performance. Learn how to:
understand why subordinates accept or reject messages from managers;
examine the underlying ethical and moral perspectives on power; and
think differently about your own use of power
He also explains how to address the three fundamental needs of employees: agency, growth, and justice. When leaders and their subordinates work toward fulfilling these needs, everyones success will be enhanced.
Filled with case studies and research, this guide will help you transform your company culture, bolster communication, and reap rewards from Leader Power and Subordinate Engagement.
