The Premise - How we see the world There is an unconscious, primal communication going on all the time in every interaction and it’s about “Who’s in control?” We call this the Invisible Power Game™. The Problem – Why this is important to address This primarily non-verbal communication reduces productivity regardless of the relationship roles between people (customer/vendor, manager/employee, team members). This is because people unconsciously get consumed in this power struggle for control and use work issues as their battlefield, even to their own determent. This unproductive behavior continues because the individuals involved are unaware that a power struggle is what’s really taking place. The people who are aware of it are unsure of how to resolve it without becoming a jerk or turning into wimp. Comprehensive Solution - How we help others resolve this problem See what’s not being seenWe help people see how and when the Invisible Power Game™ is taking place.
