It is ever possible to have real power as an (non-executive non-shareholding) employee of an organisation?

Power implies the ability to cause change. When you say "real" power I think you might have some specific kind of change in mind. What kind of organizational influence are you considering "real" power?

Why not? The only "problem" is that everyone who actually goes down that path becomes a manager or executive given enough time.
