In this episode, Dr Rob Sayers‑Brown is joined by Laura Whitworth to unpack what we really mean by "power" in organisations today, and why it matters for who gets ahead.

Together, they explore how influence operates beyond hierarchy, how culture and bias shape leadership decisions, and why women's power often shows up differently. They also discuss what leaders and organisations can do to shift power dynamics in practical, lasting ways; by redesigning systems, making power visible, and creating fairer paths to progression.
