    • Timely, relevant, and empowering. Highly recommend.
Gruenfeld’s book reexamines our preconceptions about power: what it means to have and to use it. She frames power as “how much you are needed” and as the “part you play in someone else’s story.” This is a powerful and empowering message. More relevant and necessary than ever before.

    • Not research nor investigative text, it’s a rant.
Very shallow , poorly sourced or referenced so called investigative text that is mostly about the author’s powerless experience and her thoughts on how to compensate. Gender biased and full of nowadays female prejudice and hopes of leveling the playing field by crying faul play at whatever they think is the product of a male dominated society. Not worth my time or anyone seeking serious research. ... show more

    • Valuable Insights on Every Page--I'll Be Reaching for This Book Again and Again
I took away so many insights from this book, both professionally and personally. I loved the idea that we're all playing a range of roles, and can be more effective if we acknowledge whether we're in the role of "boss" or "underling" or "mom" or friend". Gruenfeld explains the concept of playing high and playing low, and when to use each. Another concept I found really powerful was the idea of the purpose of power. Gruenfeld doesn't just see power as something to go out and get more of, but rather, as a valuable asset that should be used to serve. Gruenfeld has been teaching these concepts at the Stanford GSB for many years, and her expertise is evident. But her tone is still approachable and conversational. It was a pleasure to read. Too many business books are not worth the money. They either contain one idea, repeated, or they are a rambling collections of observations, or worst of all, advice from someone who's not actually an expert. This book is worth every penny (and more!). ... show more
