Synopsis
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.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : 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.
