Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Jeffrey Pfeffer is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as workplace culture, management, leadership, human resources, and business growth. He is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where he gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and schools.
Jeffrey Pfeffer is hired to speak at events and conferences where he can give expertise on important global business affairs. Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer of Stanford University is an expert on how ideas about influence and good leadership have changed over time. He has been teaching managers for a long time how to get, use, and grow power. Pfeffer shows that training in power, political skill, and influence is an important part of leadership development for organizations that want to keep their top employees. His “Paths to Power” class at the Stanford Graduate School of Business has been praised as having “the most diverse material at Stanford” and has been called “the most important class at Stanford.”
What causes people to fail in their careers? Pfeffer queries. They fail because they don’t know enough about politics to figure out how to deal with complicated interdependencies. In his most recent best-selling book, “7 Rules of Power: Surprising, but True Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career” (Matt Holt, June 2022), power is described as a skill that can be learned and used to negotiate and control interactions with other people.
Students have called Pfeffer “transformational” because he is practical and shows how high-potential minorities can benefit most from realizing that core influence and persuasive skills are usually more important for success than technical skills. The book “7 Rules of Power” is for businesses and individuals. It gives managers and leaders game-changing strategies and truth: if your company is serious about implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies correctly, you must teach your employees about power skills and structures. Pfeffer is that we should be okay with power because it is a part of everything in an organization. Based on his years of studying social science, he has put together a guide to getting things done, including improving your work performance.
Pfeffer has spent decades teaching leaders in all fields how to use their employees to get ahead of the competition. His wise but simple advice, that putting people first increases sales and improves performance, is used worldwide to help organizations succeed. His case studies on companies like Stanford Healthcare, Southwest Airlines, DaVita Dialysis, and the Kimberly-Andean Clark region are just a few examples.
Jeffrey Pfeffer, the author of “Dying for a Paycheck: How Modern Management Harms Employee Health and Company Performance and What We Can Do About It,” says that modern management hurts both employee health and company performance. “Covid has changed nothing and everything” (Harper Business, March 2018). “What leaders should have been doing all along is what they need to do now. The most effective organizations were already working on the problems that Covid brought up, such as access to child care, financial insecurity, and access to therapies for mental health and physical health. What you have to do to deal with Covid isn’t that different from what you have to do every day, pandemic or not.
Pfeffer shows CEOs of all kinds of businesses how to increase customer loyalty, staff productivity, and profits by looking at companies with employee-centered engagement and innovation activities.
Decision-makers have a unique chance to rethink old practices and replace them with new ones that are better for investors, management, employees, and the bottom line. This is true when businesses prepare for a business climate after a pandemic. Pfeffer shows CEOs how to use evidence-based management to achieve great growth. He is known for speaking clearly and honestly. He also helps them develop ideas that will help them and their employees no matter what the market is doing.
