. . . Answer: A balance of power, based on an organization-wide implementation of interdependence and power allocation.

Who Needs This Book?
This book isn't addressed to your organization; it's addressed to you. Power doesn't exist in a vacuum, and its application doesn't either. Power transactions are occurring in your life and career right now.
If you have any kind of organizational authority, you are trying to cope with the following questions on an almost daily basis:
"To whom will I give this assignment? Who should lead the latest project? Who should be put on that team? What do I do with this person who waits to be told what to do? And what about this other person, who never waits before he does things? How can I get this constructive person to accept and release more power? Should I disempower that person, and if so, how do I go about it?"
Real people. Real problems. Real world. Your world.
That's what this book is about and why you can't ignore its principles.
