KAKA Principle of Power Shift (KAKA POPs)

Friday, February 18th, 2011

A colleague surprised me yesterday when telling me he was reading a book on power. I asked him why and he told me he wanted to learn how to use power in his organization. Immediately I seized an opportunity to lecture him on power basics because I also read a few books on power and had been digesting them for some time. So I told him the Principle of Power I discovered through sheer reading of case studies, mainly power struggles in communist Russia (POP, like a stack operation if you know a bit about computer science or programming). This was later generalized to POPs, Principle of Power Shift:

Kiss Ass. Kick Ass.

Hope you find this succinct definition useful and easy to remember.

Note: The proper sequence is very important for your mental health.

Alternatively divide your minimal redundancy package into the number of months, for example, the length of a probation period, and add this to a new compensation when negotiating with your potential employer (tip).
