Book excerpt: Tactful self-promotion is an extraordinarily useful--in fact, crucial-- career competency, relevant at any stage. This book is for you if you're: - new to your career, striving to establish a reputation in your profession. - at mid-career, feeling like you've plateaued or stalled, and need to build influence. - working in the "gig" economy, freelancing, and seeking contract work. - starting your own business, or becoming a consultant. - between jobs and trying to find a new opportunity. Based on thousands of conversations with people seeking more visibility, the authors outline actions that even the most reserved can take to increase their visibility without violating their integrity or values (and without triggering a panic attack!). Illustrated by real-world examples, it is full of practical approaches, immediate tips, and ideas to implement. Power Your Career: The Art of Tactful Self-Promotion at Work will help you find ways to promote yourself--tactfully!

Book excerpt: If you want to "change lives, change organizations, change the world," the Stanford business school’s motto, you need power. Is power the last dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can be used for good or evil. Don’t blame the tool for how some people used it. If fully understood and harnessed effectively, power skills and understanding become the keys to increasing salaries, job satisfaction, career advancement, organizational change, and, happiness. In 7 Rules of Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, provides the insights that have made both his online and on-campus classes incredibly popular—with life-changing results often achieved in 8 or 10 weeks. Rooted firmly in social science research, Pfeffer’s 7 rules provide a manual for increasing your ability to get things done, including increasing the positive effects of your job performance. The 7 rules are: 1) Get out of your own way. 2) Break the rules. 3) Show up in powerful fashion. 4) Create a powerful brand. 5) Network relentlessly. 6) Use your power. 7) Understand that once you have acquired power, what you did to get it will be forgiven, forgotten, or both. With 7 Rules of Power, you’ll learn, through both numerous examples as well as research evidence, how to accomplish change in your organization, your life, the lives of others, and the world.
