Se você quer seguir o lema da escola de negócios de “mudar vidas, mudar organizações, mudar o mundo”, precisa de poder.

Em 7 Regras do Poder, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor de comportamento organizacional da escola de negócios de Stanford, fornece insights que tornaram seu curso, tanto presencial quanto virtual, incrivelmente popular — com resultados transformadores alcançados geralmente em oito ou dez semanas.
