No Bullshit with Alex Willis: The Go-To Source for Leaders in Construction30 Mai 2023

Episode 5: Power, Position, and Privilege, The Takeoff (1/4)

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 first segment, The Takeoff, Alex will analyze the way power shows up in society through “The 5 Ladders”. You’ll learn the ways that you currently have power in the world: from physical strength, to social influence, to visible and invisible identities.

Tune into our next segment, The Level, where you’ll dive into how power works in an organization, and what you can do to influence your position as a leader in the eyes of others. It turns out: the more power you give away, the more power you have in the long run.
