Abraham Lincoln famously remarked that “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” The power belongs to those who want to get the top position in organizations with personal qualities, such as leadership, humility, ambition, etc. In this book, Jeffrey Pfeffer examines how to get the power from the individuals’ perspective to make and implement decisions by considering various situations.

To have faith that small seems like an easy feat, but for me it is the hardest challenge I could hope to overcome. The worst part of this challenge is that I don't want to believe my faith is so…

He knew what it was to have much, and it was probably an extremely good life. Egypt was never known for being the poorest among nations in history, so it stands to reason that Moses, who was adopted into the royal family, had much.
