Building Status and Power in the Workplace

Understanding the distinction between power and status is crucial for career advancement. Power revolves around the control of valuable resources, which could range from financial assets to critical information. Status, on the other hand, is derived from the respect and admiration one earns from others; hence, it exists only in the minds of those who judge us. Achieving status often requires a proactive approach, as having a strong reputation can lead to increased opportunities and ultimately pave the way for acquiring power.
