Social Power and the CEO

Elliott Jaques explores the significant yet often misused power of top management, emphasizing its influence on economic, personal, and social spheres. He identifies widespread misconceptions about managerial leadership and human behavior, arguing that the failures in management stem from flawed leadership systems rather than the individuals within them. Drawing on decades of research and analysis, Jaques proposes a transformative approach to managerial leadership and organization, making this work vital for academics, students, and executives in both public and private sectors.
