The Science of Personal Power: How to Build Confidence, Create Success, and Obtain Freedom

By: Lipp, Chris

Why do some professionals rise in leadership while others plateau, despite equal or greater ability?

In the workplace, strong performance is only the baseline. What separates capable professionals from those who advance is their personal power. Personal power is the essence of respect - both your self-respect and the respect you earn from others. It is your ability to feel confident and command attention.

In The Science of Personal Power, professor and executive coach Chris Lipp reveals the psychology behind personal power and how it shapes your executive presence. Drawing on decades of research, he shows that your power evolves through how you speak, how firmly you hold your boundaries, and how you carry yourself under pressure.

When preparing for a promotion, leading a team, or engaging in high-stakes conversations, your ability to signal power determines how seriously you are taken. This book will help you shift from leading with likability to leading with respect. Project power and you are seen as confident and capable, accelerating your path to greater status and authority. At the same time, you experience less stress because you are not performing. You are operating from a more powerful foundation.

In this book, you will learn to:

Shape how others perceive your leadership Develop executive presence Set boundaries that increase respect

Blending rigorous science with real-world leadership stories, The Science of Personal Power offers you a blueprint for building unshakeable confidence and ensuring your leadership is recognized, earning you a seat at the table.
