The Hidden Power You’re Wasting At Work (And Don’t Even Know It)

At a time when there’s so much uncertainty and apprehension, it’s easy to feel powerless – that there’s little that can be done to help change course or better address the challenges before us.

But this outlook reveals a more troubling problem – namely that we continue to perpetuate a misguided idea of what power is.

For too long, we’ve viewed power from a scarcity mindset – that only those with the right title or the biggest bank account have the power and authority to make decisions. And this perception of power leads us to view it as a zero-sum game – where I can only have power if you don’t.

But what if power is not limited, but limitless? What if it’s less about positional authority and more about the value you create?

In this latest edition in my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I use a scientific principle to help us redefine workplace power and how to stop giving away the influence you already possess.

By the episode’s end, you’ll discover why power isn’t about your title or position, but about something far more valuable that you control entirely.
