Recognizing When Power Is More Than Meets The Eye
from The book of gaberock with Gabriel Avilla · host Gabriel Avilla
In this episode, I explore the difference between “Power Over” and “Power To,” a concept from psychotherapist Esther Perel that explains how power dynamics shape trust within teams. Leaders who use power to control others fracture relationships, while leaders who empower others multiply strength across the team. Sometimes the best leadership lessons come from unexpected places—even a classic animated movie from the 80s.🎙️ About The Book of GaberockThe book of gaberock is my personal leadership platform focused on Analog Leadership in a Digital World — helping leaders find clarity, build resilient relationships, and stay grounded in a world full of digital distraction and constant pressure.🧰 Connect With Me🔗 Website: thebookofgaberock.com 🎙️ Podcast: The book of gaberock 📸 Instagram: @gaberockavilla 💼 LinkedIn: Gabriel Avilla🎼 Gear Used Today🎥 Camera: Sony ZV-1F 🔊 Microphone: Rode + Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
