Executives on Power

Chapter Chapter 5 in Clout, 2014, pp 109-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We can only learn so much about what people think about power from our survey research, however extensive that research might be and how inclusive it might be of opinions from all levels of business organizations. The survey research conducted for this book examined values and attitudes about power within the workforce, from the point of view of those doing the actual work as small business owners, directors, managers, or workers. The survey research was done over a spectrum of workers and it gave a depiction of power at work from the trenches, so to speak. However, that is not enough to tell the story of power at work. Participants in the survey were mostly those affected by power, not those brandishing power. As proposed in chapter 1, power is a two-way street involving both the application and the acceptance of power.
