Abstract
This last chapter concerns the future of power. All our research, the survey, executive interviews, cases studies, and my own observations confirm that power is alive and well at work. This chapter explores findings that will be based on what has been discovered. It starts with a story about someone seeking the meaning of life, indeed a noble and ambitious quest that we will tie to our more narrowly framed but significant study. Then we will look at influencers of future power and future work. Using several frameworks and techniques, we will offer and justify a set of conclusions. Finally, several paths to new discoveries about power are offered. These will be pick-up points for future studies.
