Recorded Webinar: Leadership Clinic Part 6
Understanding and working through power dynamics
Duration: Approx. 40 min
This webinar is the final in a series of interactive leadership conversations, led by Barbara Watson and Bridgit Williams. Each session has had a leadership focus that has been illustrated by way of relatable scenarios. Participants have discussed the problems, issues and dilemmas in these scenarios and drawn on leadership theory and experience to develop a range of appropriate responses to each situation.

The intention is to present everyday leadership situations and collectively problem-solve potential and implementable solutions. 

The series has been structured around the following topics: 
  • What does it take to be an effective leader? 
  • Setting and maintaining clear expectations 
  • Coaching effective practice in others 
  • Managing poor performance 
  • Having difficult conversations
  • Understanding and working through power dynamics


In all ECE teams there are levels of power that will impact everyone. These dynamics can shift and change over time as new team members come and go. The dynamics of power in our teams can be subtle or overt. And they will have a strong impact on how our team members feel and perform in their role. 

As leaders managing power dynamics is part of our responsibility. How do we impact others with our own power? And how do we maintain a balance of power that has a positive effect within our teams?

What others have to say about this webinar  

I really liked the idea of the leader reflecting on themself too, and finding ways to move forward. 
I also liked the comment about a skilled leader navigating through all circumstances, ensuring everyone’s mana is in check.
