WHAT IS POWER, WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HOW DID THEY FIND OUT? Power lurks in every relationship, interaction and transaction but is scarcely understood even by those who wield it most. In The Blindspot, executive coach Douglas Board and priest Martin Henwood offer a radical, accessible and practical exploration of power which breaks new ground. The book reflects on more than sixty real-life incidents, including forty from the authors' personal and professional experience. These range from corporate misconduct and gross abuse of authority in hospitals, churches and schools, to whistleblowing at Uber, leadership change at Sainsbury's and selection decisions in the heart of government. The authors expose how poorly our elite leaders understand power. This missing knowledge they place in your hands. The Blindspot uses the idea of human chess to examine how we are all, at every moment, pieces playing and being played on multiple boards simultaneously. It analyses how knowledge about power is distributed across society, predicts the rise of the first power-literate generation, and suggests how all of us can accelerate this future.
