Product Description
Trying to get results while working without the apparent authority to do so can be a challenge, but not an insurmountable one. In this revised edition of his bestseller, Geoffrey Bellman shares his proven techniques for enlisting key people in the cause; gaining the support of decision makers; making a greater impact on the organization; taking the right risks at the right time with the right people; creating self-rewards; increasing work effectiveness and self-satisfaction; and navigating through the thicket of organizational politics and power.

How to influence without power,
By Robert Selden "Bob Selden, What To Do When Yo... (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Getting Things Done When You are Not in Charge (Paperback)
I first came across "Getting Things Done When You Are Not In Charge" when my wife started in a new, corporate, "no power" position. Her new boss said "Here, this book might be helpful". And helpful it certainly has been for it provides so many strategies and suggestions for getting things done through others in a practical manner that can be easily implemented.
Apart from all the good advice and tips Bellman provides, his key message is that when you are in a zero power job, your main purpose in life should be "helping others succeed". "Getting Things Done When You Are Not In Charge" sets out a strategy for becoming a leader when you are not in a position of authority - probably one of the most challenging roles any manager can take on. Many chapters have a step by step approach for implementing this leadership strategy, so along with the various scenarios, these steps make it easy for any manager to understand and apply. Although it's aimed at the manager who does not have line authority, this book is recommended for all managers who want to increase their personal power.

I love this book!,
By Billbowie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting Things Done When You are Not in Charge (Paperback)
Believe it or not this is the most used management book on my shelf. As I have progressed in my career, I have discovered that "being in charge" is a myth. Even at the apex of an organization you are beholden to someone if not more "bosses". So regardless of your place within your organization this book provides pratical tips on improving your effectiveness. Of particular value and insight are the comparison of leadership and management, the concept of counterdependence, and the internal and external customer discussion. I have shared this information and it has been well received by collegues, at management retreats and with university professors. At less than half the price of the typical soft cover management book you may consider purchasing two. One for you and one to share.

Another Winning Title!,
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting Things Done When You are Not in Charge (Paperback)
Geoffrey M. Bellman provides strategies that support personnel can use to bring about positive change in their organizations. A comprehensive table of contents allows you to go directly to the area of the book that most interests you. In fact, the author designed the book to be read in pieces and many topics stand on their own in manageable chunks. This alone makes the book a useful tool for people who are interested in "leading from the middle." The informal writing style and the many useful lists make these ideas accessible to readers who lack formal business training, and thus are likelier to work in support roles. Bellman believes that instead of complaining about your lack of power, you should build your power and get things done. We at getAbstract.com recommend this book to anyone who isn't CEO (yet).

Brilliant!,
By Ferdinand Van Heerden "www.kinaesthetic.biz" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting Things Done When You are Not in Charge (Paperback)
If I take all of the management books I have read from my time at University till now and stack them up they may form a balance with this brilliant book. The wisdom, down to earth style and practical insight is not just uncommon, it is extrodinary. This book has done more to help me in different management situations than any other. The structured approach to tackling life as a manager is a solid base which leaves enough room for personal style and growth. Anyone who does not read this is at a disadvantage.
