This booklet draws
upon the writer’s experiences and studies on individual
and organisational behaviour. It develops the concept of self
(I-power) and leads on the creation of ‘we’ and
‘they’ power. It elaborates on the inherent dynamics
involved across the power hierarchy and suggests how proper
recognition of I’s could result in better performance
and increased effectiveness through the development of the
'We' and then the 'They'. |
