Part 5: How to Keep Positional Power From Being a Huge Achille's Heel with Hanna Hasl-Kelchner

Positional Power

Positional power is one of the most misunderstood and misused concepts in business.

It’s also why positional power can be an organization’s Achille’s heel.

Sounds like heresy? Let’s talk about that.

What You’ll Discover About Positional Power:

* How positional power can promote an us-vs-them mentality

* How emotional intelligence supplements and strengthens positional power

* The blind spots positional power creates that threaten high employee engagement

* Why leaders serious about high employee engagement can’t hide behind excuses of political correctness, wokeness and free speech 

* Why it’s incumbent on those with positional power to keep the employee-employer relationship on track

* And much more.
