What is Power? Who has it, and what does it look like? 

When it comes to power, most people think of the rich and famous. However, not all power dynamics are self-evident. There are dozens of factors in play that influence the power we have over others. Even those with a leadership title must earn the respect of their peers before they are truly leading in their workplace.

On today’s episode of No Bullshit with Alex Willis, you’ll be guided through the different ways power, position, and privilege show up on-site. Rather than challenging or ignoring them, Alex breaks down the ways you can leverage those existing dynamics, create a fair work environment, and create a culture of respect at your company.

What to look out for in today’s episode: 

  • The 5 ladders of power in society
  • The 5 levels of leadership in an organization
  • Types of respect, and how individual values influence the way we respect others
  • Overcoming the 4 emotions of intolerance: Fear, Shame, Guilt, and Sadness

In our final segment, The Frame Out, you’ll sift through emotions that often come up during diversity and inclusion conversations. Alex will address how to tap into your teams’ unified standard of respect, and shift your team’s conversation towards “making awesome happen”!
