This is the companion episode to The Power Paradox. Power doesn't corrupt us all at once. It works on us slowly, in small choices we don't notice making. This reflection walks you through the three areas where the pull is strongest: Your relationship with feedback. How you talk about people who aren't in the room. How you handle advantages and favours. I also share three signs that the political games of someone above have started reaching you. And I give you the strategy that keeps me grounded.
