UNBOXING OD: Exploring the Work Behind the Work

Episode 20: The Silent Partner - Power in Organizations


Listen Later

In this episode of Unboxing OD, Kenneth explores the powerful presence of organizational power dynamics and the influence they carry in shaping culture, conversations, and decisions. These dynamics often live beneath the surface, guiding what is shared, what remains unspoken, and how change takes shape across teams and leadership. 

Kenneth invites listeners to reflect on what it means to be brought in as a trusted voice, while also encountering subtle boundaries around what can truly be addressed. He offers thoughtful insights and strategies for navigating these moments with clarity and care, drawing on practical approaches that support trust, transparency, and systemic alignment. 

From mapping informal influence to guiding conversations that support meaningful dialogue, this episode encourages practitioners to remain curious, observant, and rooted in the values that support long-term transformation. 

So pour a cup of coffee, settle in, and join the conversation as we explore the quiet forces that shape our work in Organizational Development.
