Inhaltsangabe
Most leaders today receive no real education about power—and neither do citizens, front-line workers, or middle managers. The few who do are often taught that power and ethics are separate. This widespread ignorance isn’t inevitable.
In this engaging and deeply practical exploration, Dr. Douglas Board and the Revd Martin Henwood draw on decades of experience to introduce readers to the essential principles of power—both basic and advanced. Through thirty-six firsthand incidents and twenty more from the public sphere, they expose how power operates across institutions and everyday life, from corporate backrooms and hospital wards to churches, schools, and government. Their examples include the Horizon scandal, whistleblowing at Uber, and the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The authors show that an intellectually rigorous and accessible education about power is possible—and urgently needed. If future generations can learn to recognize and handle power safely, they may avoid the failures of today’s leaders.
Unflinching yet hopeful, this groundbreaking guide helps readers analyze their own experiences, confront the abuse of authority, and imagine a more accountable, compassionate, and connected world.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Dr. Douglas Board is an executive coach and the author of five books—including two novels—on leadership and power. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and served as a member of the King’s Counsel Selection Panel until 2024. His most recent book, Elites, was described by the Financial Times as “profound, subversive and often very funny.”
The Revd Martin Henwood DL is a priest in the Church of England and Vicar of Holy Trinity, Dartford. Trained in group analysis, he has served as Bishop’s Adviser on regeneration, chaired an NHS authority and school governing bodies, and draws deeply from the mystical wisdom traditions of many faiths—committed to turning spirituality into action.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. What is power, who has it and how did they get it? Surprisingly, even today's leaders would struggle to provide an answer, because most receive no real training on power at all just like everybody else. The few exceptions learn that ethical behaviour is separate from power. It's a recipe for disasters like the Post Office Horizon scandal to happen again and again.In The Blindspot, executive coach Douglas Board and Anglican priest Martin Henwood show how this ignorance is not only damaging but also unnecessary. Providing a uniquely engaging introduction to ideas about power, they reflect on more than fifty real-life incidents including dozens from their own personal experience to help us understand how this lack of knowledge affects us all, as well as what we can do about it. Their examples range from corporate misconduct and the misuse of authority in churches, hospitals and schools, to whistleblowing at Uber and the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.Ultimately, this timely and important book demonstrates that by truly understanding power, we can help to bring about a more accountable and compassionate world. The Blindspotinvestigates how unexamined influence consistently drives catastrophic institutional failures. Through dozens of case studies, the authors expose this dangerous void in professional education and deliver an essential roadmap for building fairer, more responsible organisations.

Hardback. Zustand: New. WHAT IS POWER, WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HOW DID THEY FIND OUT?Power lurks in every relationship, interaction and transaction but is scarcely understood even by those who wield it most. In The Blindspot, executive coach Douglas Board and priest Martin Henwood offer a radical, accessible and practical exploration of power which breaks new ground.The book reflects on more than sixty real-life incidents, including forty from the authors' personal and professional experience. These range from corporate misconduct and gross abuse of authority in hospitals, churches and schools, to whistleblowing at Uber, leadership change at Sainsbury's and selection decisions in the heart of government. The authors expose how poorly our elite leaders understand power. This missing knowledge they place in your hands.The Blindspot uses the idea of human chess to examine how we are all, at every moment, pieces playing and being played on multiple boards simultaneously. It analyses how knowledge about power is distributed across society, predicts the rise of the first power-literate generation, and suggests how all of us can accelerate this future.
