description: Influence strategies which managers use cannot be universal; instead, to be effective, managers must learn about the culture - or climate - of the organization. This is the conclusion of this volume, which systematically integrates two recalcitrant problems in human work behaviour - leadership and power.

He discusses findings from his survey of over four hundred executives in which he bases of power, leadership style, leader behaviour, perceived organizational climate and organizational characteristics.
