Features: This book focuses on exploring the causes and effects of the increasingly complex social environment within and around these institutions, awakening people to some issues that I believe are very important. It aims to help those who are determined to innovate, improve corporate organizational management, and enhance corporate adaptability, despite the heavy resistance of bureaucracy, localism, and extremely destructive power struggles. Power can create charisma, a charisma of management, an charisma of organization, and a charisma of personality, which has an impact on both the internal and external aspects of the company. Positive effects can make rigid bureaucracies more flexible, innovative, and adaptable, making work more stimulating and bringing satisfaction to the majority. Conversely, it can trap the company in a quagmire of intrigue, localism, and power struggles, ultimately losing all initiative, innovation, morale, and virtue.
