Power Intelligence®: Leadership and the Effective Use of Power

There’s an old saying: the higher you rise, the funnier your jokes. But it’s no joke that power changes you. It alters your perceptions, judgment, and behaviour. What’s less known is that power doesn’t just change you, it changes the world around you. In the habitat of power, people are less willing to speak up, trust their perceptions, and take risks. They give you less honest—and less accurate—feedback. The result? The more impact you have, the harder it is for you to see it. You’re leading through a distorting lens of power.

Join Julie Diamond, PhD, international speaker, author, and leadership consultant who will introduce us to Power Intelligence®, a framework and leadership development methodology that enables leaders to navigate the challenges of their high-power roles, creating better outcomes for themselves, their teams, and their organizations.

At the end of this session, you will come away with

• Skills for helping clients in high-power roles create more psychological safety, open up conversations, and increase engagement of those they lead;
• A deepened understanding of the effects of power on self-insight and identity, and the challenges this creates for leaders; and
• Methods for redesigning the “habitat of power,” to radically reduce the conditions for power misuse, and allow power to bring out the best and not the worst parts of our nature.
