Other Books: Not based in Positive Leadership
I will also get interested clients to read these two books which are definitely NOT from a positive perspective, however they give insight into leadership approaches that are focused on a “me first” or authoritarian approach. In a sense, I view these sources as helping us to understand how those who do not come for a positive perspective might be thinking.
The classic work by Niccolò Machaivelli, The Prince offers a view of how to act when your only goal is holding power (various translations are available). Robert Green’s (1998) book entitled The 48 Laws of Power (published by Penguin) uses historical examples to show how those who do not have power are able to get and hold power. |
