From the Paper:

"Appropriate Exercise of Power and Influence in an Organization I have been asked to discuss a subject affecting managers and leaders at all levels. As the current Executive Director of ICMA, one of the largest non-profit groups in the state, I have played many roles. Yet, all of them had in common that I was working with people either as a leader or in a team setting. During this time I have observed many ways in which the power and influence of leaders and managers can change the outcome of a team of company project, with both good and bad outcomes. "
