Understanding Power Dynamics At Work

Wednesday, 12 September 2012
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (Eastern)

Are you ever stuck in conflicts that seem unresolvable? Do you sometimes wonder about the cause of a conflict, but can’t put your finger on it? Do you ever avoid particular people because the interactions are unpleasant? In most work environments, power dynamics are an issue we have to manage. Sometimes these dynamics are unseen and unspoken. At their best, power dynamics can be used to build productive relationships, influence others in positive ways, and interact with political savvy. At their worst, power dynamics can result in limited, black and white thinking, bullying and ultimatums in the workplace.

This Nonprofit Webinars session will offer the following takeaways:

• Understand power dynamics – how do we define them and how do we decipher them?
• Learn how to effectively deal with common power dynamics at work.
• Recognize your role in positive and negative power dynamics and how to shift that role if needed.
