Power, Leadership and Complexity in Memory of António Gouveia Portela

This book is concerned with power, by focussing on empowerment, social behaviour, communication, strategy, interaction, foreign relations, and the landscapes of meaning. The nature of power, and how to use it, was deliberately not addressed. Our questioning covers also leadership and complexity, as it occurs during a specific period of unhappy times where a multitude of crises interact to provoke considerable damage on employment, quality of life, sovereignty, positive attitudes, national pride and honour.
