Härskarteknik - den fula vägen till makt
Elaine Bergqvist, retorikkonsult, författare och
en av Sveriges mest anlitade föreläsare
Hur kan du hantera härskartekniker utan att betraktas som offer eller angripare?
Hur undviker du att själv omedvetet använda härskartekniker?
Seminariet uppmärksammar det subtila i härskarsituationer och föreslår hur dessa kan hanteras. Den belyser också hur olika kvinnors och mäns metoder kan vara. Men en sak är gemensam: de tar den fula vägen till makt.
