From relationships between individuals to conflicts within organizations and between nations, power differences have been and continue to be part of virtually every human interaction. Their range of effects spans extreme abuse to selfless benevolence. In this volume on the psychological and interpersonal bases of power abuse, the work of prominent researchers is brought together to provide a panoramic understanding of this complex phenomenon. Focusing on power as a cause of social ills, and remedies to prevent corruption and abuse, The Use and Abuse of Power is unique in bringing together different levels of analysis from the intrapsychic to the interpersonal, the group and organization level, and governmental and intergovernmental level. By gaining a broad scope of social power as seen through a variety of research perspectives, it may be possible to realize the extent of its effects and unearth fundamental elements of power that hold true across seemingly disparate areas of research. The volume will be important reading for researchers and students in psychology, management, sociology and other social sciences, as well as for business and political leaders.

The use and abuse of power
Not very helpful--
I was very excited to start on this book after reading so many good reviews about it. I had my pen at the ready to underline valuable passages and take notes. I expected it to give me specific techniques and tips to improve my storytelling skills.
But alas, my expectations were too high and unreasonable. I came away with a little bit more of appreciation for story and what it can do, but that's about it. No specific techniques or tips that could improve my skills as a storyteller.
The main reason for this deficiency is that story as a form defies "rules" and "models." The author compares story models to dissecting a kitten to understand why it's cute.
Touche.
Story is specific, emotional, personal, and subjective. Good to know that. But that's specifically why it by its nature can't be modeled, codified, or broken down into a bunch of rules.
Although I do believe there could have been more specific tips that might have helped me improve my storytelling skills, it comes down to this: listen to stories and tell stories.
That's the only way to get better at it.
Duh.
I felt the book was too long and underdelivered. It gave some good stories but didn't give me enough information on the specific points it was making (see for example, how to influence the unconcerned and unmotivated).
Overall, despite a few nuggets of golden advice, I was disappointed.
