    About this Episode

    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 second segment, The Level, 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.

    Tune into our next segment, The Foundation, we explore the question: “What is respect?”. Starting at basic human decency, Alex breaks down our “force-field of values” and why it’s important for high-performing teams to have a standard of respect for each other.
