Amid COVID-19, George Floyd, #MeToo, and the rising tide of political anger in our country, Americans feel more hungry for change than ever before. Simultaneously, the pandemic and its disruption of "normal" life have made us realize that we can no longer depend on institutional power and authority to cultivate real change. This book speaks into that desire for change and against that sense of powerlessness, equipping its readers to exercise a powerful influence in their workplaces to remove the systemic barriers that exist for themselves and others. The insights and strategies provided in this book impact workplaces and extend into creating inclusive homes, neighborhoods, and communities. This idea of granting power to the powerless taps into the mainstream of a cultural moment that shows no evidence of waning anytime soon. Even as we move past the pandemic, Americans will continue to clamor for the power to change systems they see as unjust in the workplace and beyond. The power of one is the power of the individual through ordinary, everyday actions to influence extraordinary change. This book meets the need by helping readers grab hold of the power they already have (regardless of title or status) and cultivate lasting influence in the lives of people around them. This is its primary purpose. Its secondary objective is to develop the virtues of civility, candor, and courage in its readers and, through them, the corporate and communal spaces they inhabit. This book makes a unique contribution by focusing less on specific strategies for effecting change and more on becoming a person of influence. The former can be helpful as illustrated by the specific strategies provided in the book, but the latter will provide the reader with the infectious influence one needs to effect lasting change The Power of One is the first post-pandemic, social injustice, everything 2020 organizational leadership book. The pandemic year of 2020 significantly impacted how both leaders and individual leaders view their workplace. People reimagined bringing humanity, empathy, and compassion to those they work with and their communities and homes. The Power of One blends traditional leadership fundamentals with the human side of human resources.
