about power:

… “In organizations, the distribution of power and persuasion has little to do with organizational charts but instead depends on the situations and balances in play, which are constantly evolving. 

The manager, regardless of the role they are in, must increase their ability to impact the environment in order to increase their legitimate power through such means as guiding strategy-setting, attracting talent, influencing control systems, or redesigning the organization itself. 

If you decide to pursue a vertical career, the sooner you learn to master power and follow the rules of the game, the sooner you will get results.”
