This lesson uses short, realistic scenarios to show how power dynamics manifest in everyday work situations. Case A describes a mid-level manager who dominates meetings and silences junior voices. Case B shows a senior employee who withholds information to control a project. Case C depicts retaliation against a colleague who raises a concern.

After each case, learners identify power signals, assess psychological safety, and suggest interventions that protect targets and promote fair processes.

Discussion prompts: what would you do in each situation? how can leaders and teams act to reduce harm and increase accountability?
