In this episode, Rupert and Shradha explore the role of power in organization design. A thoughtful organization design recognizes and rewards natural authority.

However, not all power dynamics can be addressed through org design alone; leadership behaviours also play a critical role. Join us as we discuss the flow of power in organizations.
