Real Power: Stages of Personal Power in Organizations, Third Edition Overview Janet O. Hagberg has written a dynamic book about power -real, personal power- for forward-looking people and organizations who want to harness their own power for the common good. "I wrote this book," says Hagberg, "to transform the way we think about power and leadership. It takes people on a journey beyond achievement and sucess to a stance in which power comes from their inner core and they lead from their souls." There is no doubt that the world is ready for a new model of leadership. In this third edition, Janet Hagberg addresses much that she has learned from her readers. The result is a deepening of the descriptions of each stage, a new way to think about the dark side of each stage, new stories of each stage derived from her readers, a connection to the spirituality expressed at each stage, as well a description of "The Wall" between Stages Four and Five. Throughout the book, the author adds more of her personal story to illustrate her experiences and observations of each of the stages of power. Completely revised, 2003 edition Hagberg's Stages of Power applied to many areas of leadership Revolutionary thinking on leading from the soul Chapters on both women and men and power how they differ Useful as a text in a variety of college classes Excellent as a guide to personal growth Easily adaptable to use in corporate leadership seminars About the Author: Janet O.

Power affects all relationships in a way that is, disputable, either underestimated or misjudged or perhaps both. So a book that takes a new examination of personal omnipotence is an agreeable addition to a meeting of minds of the intricacies that underlie all human relationships. In "Real Power," Janet Olson Hagberg has delivered a book of profound insights. It is one of those exceptional creations alters how one sees themselves and their world. so they and their world are never the same again. It is awash with a wise message you can influence you in a way that will allow you to create another destiny in ways you could not even imagine before her words and ideas changed you forever. REAL POWER IS PERSONAL POWER Personal power, Hagberg instructs, results from combining what would seem like irrelevant power, our own readiness for action and combining it with the inner power of deliberation. The root of her concept is an easily understood but totally thought out theory. It describes six stages of power that a person can undergo, "which we superimpose one upon layer. upon layer as we grow mentally and spiritually. The six stages are: 1. Helplessness (the victim pose) 2. A sense of borrowed power by surrounding oneself with powerful people. Then borrowing the power these others have by imitation, thereby learning a new way. That is why all 12 step programs say stick with the winners and all seminars teach to immerse oneself in books of those who have succeeded. They also teach a person to get a successful mentor to imitate. 3. She reiterates accomplishing things like a college degree, experience through volunteer work, seminars, building power through acceptable ways that society recognizes as the person being useful to society. So much, of how we see ourselves has to do with how others see us. That is how managers and the corporations that employ them work. ) 4. Serving self is a natural thing the next stage in development is to transcend this instinct and serve others first. This the author calls the wall or hurdles. 5. Power by spiritual growth those who have no need to seek power, to those power flows. 6. For those who know power comes from within themselves not from without.
