When you understand how power dynamics work, you can improve relationships around you immediately. This works at every level of the organization. Learn how to re-balance the power in one-on-one relationships. Maybe you need to give more power to your team members or take some power back. We will examine seven sources of power—from authority and expertise to charisma and knowledge of organizational goals—and learn how to assess and leverage them in your unique work relationships.


We'll also explore common workplace politics and how to recognize when it’s not just a feeling but a real barrier. With practical insights on handling exclusion, feeling set up to fail, or lacking visibility, you'll learn to shift your mindset and take action. Whether it's building your own authority or helping your leader feel more empowered, this episode offers tools to reclaim control and foster stronger, more balanced connections in your professional life.
