Power: a changing commodity.

Abstract

"Rapid and tumultuous change in health care as well as business has precipitated a power shift," declares Mr. Hage in this candid discussion of a quality that is both abstract and concrete. Centralized power is no longer the order of the day; in fact, the new stance supports pushing power down into organizations where it can be better used by those closer to the action. The author maintains that effective participants in this new model will learn to share power and respect knowledge as the only tool that wields it.
