This classic work by Marlene Wilson (now out of print) focuses on psychological and power-structure issues that have changed little since it was first published.  

As Wilson explains "This book is first of all a philosophical one, dealing with both the responsibility and incredible opportunity of being entrusted with leadership in today's organizations. The definition of a manager is 'someone who works with and through others to accomplish organizational goals,' so it follows that how we view people will determine everything about how we manage them. This in turn will be the critical determinant of whether those led will die, survive, or flourish as individuals in the workplace."
