	Description:		Peter Block: The Empowered Manager Peter Block is an author, consultant, and citizen of Cincinnati, Ohio. His work is about empowerment, stewardship, chosen accountability, and the reconciliation of community. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used, Stewardship: Choosing Service Over Self-Interest, and The Empowered Manager: Positive Political Skills at Work. Key Points We become political at the moment we attempt to translate our vision into action. Leadership is the capacity to initiate an alternative future. Most organizations are conflict-averse. Being political wasn t always a bad thing. The meaning has been distorted. Pursue your interests but in a way that honors the interests of others. Power comes from a willingness to be vulnerable. When you re vulnerable, all you re doing is acknowledging what the world already knows. As soon as people start complaining, they ve chosen helplessness. When we have strong negative reactions to people, it s our projection. Types of people in the workplace: Allies = high agreement / high trust Opponents = high trust / low agreement Bedfellows = low trust / high agreement Adversaries = low trust / low agreement Fence Sitters = low trust / unknown agreement Resources Mentioned The Empowered Manager: Positive Political Skills at Work Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used* The Empowered Manager: Positive Political Skills at Work* Book Notes Download my highlights from the Empowered Manager in PDF format (free membership required).
