Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
An associate of the Covey Leadership Center, Lee here follows in the tradition of Stephen R. Covey (The Seven Habits of Highly Successfully People, S. & S., 1989) with an expose of power. She demonstrates the viability of the three variants of power: coercive (fear), utility (let's make a deal), and principle-centered (virtue/honor). With respect to the first two variants, Machiavelli remains timeless; modern versions include Robert Ringer (Winning Through Intimidation, 1984) and Simon & Schuster's editor-in-chief, Michael Korda (Power; How To Get It; How To Use It, LJ 3/15/76). Regarding the third variant, Lee differs with other experts by taking an organic approach; she argues that power is rooted in honor and is based on transformation rather than transaction. A series of exercises demands reader participation and self-assessment. Indeed, Lee sets an example, listing how some of her personal failures became growth opportunities. Her work will be helpful to anyone in a leadership role such as teacher, parent, or coach.?Steven Silkunas, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority, Philadelphia

Lee focuses on what he considers to be the most important characteristic of leadership: being an honorable person. Except for the introductory section, read by Steven Covey, Lee himself leads the list
