Power Moves

Power Moves by Adam Grant is a ‘book’ that was made for Audible (Amazon) and I think I can best describe it as 5 long-form podcast episodes mashed together. A bit of Tim Ferriss and a bit of Masters of Scale. The stories are good, but I don’t think it dives very deep.

One lesson from it is that power is moving down, that people get more of a say. And I might agree with this, but at the same time there is still a lot of power at the top and money still moves most things. But if I look at it optimistically, then yes, I can see the power moving.

What I like is that he has access to some of the most powerful people in the world. And they speak to him candidly. I think the book is best for people who need to work with power dynamics a lot (e.g. in a large corporation) and who will then benefit from knowing a little more about where the trends and forces are moving.
