Understanding Power with Deborah Gruenfeld – #216

Understanding Power with Deborah Gruenfeld on The Remarkable Leadership Podcast with Kevin Eikenberry

How are you using the power you have (for good or evil)? Yes, we all have power just through our relationships between colleagues, family, and friends. Thereby, it can be a bit tricky. According to Deborah Gruenfeld, we need to embrace and own our power, even if we are uncomfortable with it. Deb is a social psychologist and the author of Acting with Power. She shares with Kevin that there are levels of power and it is a responsibility that is yours. Often there are negative connotations with power, however, when you look at it in action, force is rarely used. People want to help you, so you will help them. When you have control over another’s outcomes you need to think about the interests you are serving; be the person other people hope you will be.

In this episode, Deborah talks about

  • Confidence and power.
  • Power in the remote context.
  • Positional power.
