Ten Powers of Leadership

Is it okay to crave power? Absolutely, says the Poynter Institute's leadership and management expert Jill Geisler. There's a catch, though. That power needs to be used for good. When asked to deliver the commencement speech to the 2012 graduates of Duquesne University's School of Leadership and Professional Advancement, Jill made "power" the central theme of her address. In this adapted version, she outlines the ten types of power she wishes for leaders -- and adds a bonus. Jill's podcasts accompany her columns on Poynter.org If you want to become a great boss, her new book WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW can help you achieve that goal.
