I did the original version of this way back in 2001, but it’s still just as relevant today. Inspired in part by the structure and content of the Cluetrain Manifesto, it summarises the nature of power in the workplace, with a set of 95 statements under the following section-headings:

• Systems
• Economy and the ‘bottom line’
• Stakeholders and corporate culture
• Purpose and quality
• Knowledge
• Work-relationships
• Power and response-ability
• Human forms of power
• Power in the work-environment
• Sources of power
• Mistakes about power
• Power-addiction, winners and losers
• Scope of power-issues
• Conclusions and actions

As with all the reference-sheets, it’s a free download, of course. Hope you find it useful, anyway.
