The Impact of Increased Authority and Decreased Feedback Due to Power Dynamics
Increased authority often leads to decreased feedback due to real or perceived power dynamics. As individuals move up in positions of authority, they gain more control over the destinies of those who report to them. This power dynamic causes people to withhold the truth in order to avoid negative consequences. As a leader, it is important to recognize this tendency and strive to create an environment where individuals feel safe to speak the truth. Effective leaders understand that gaining as much information as possible is crucial in making informed decisions.
