The Hidden Power Dynamics Blocking Your Team's Best Ideas – Ep. 80

July 28, 2026·12 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Power dynamics influence far more than who makes decisions—they determine whose ideas get heard, whose concerns stay hidden, and whether your team's best thinking ever reaches the surface. In this episode, I explain how invisible hierarchies shape information flow in healthcare teams and why even the smartest teams can underperform when frontline expertise isn't fully leveraged. Drawing on systems thinking, complexity science, and lessons from leading one of the nation's highest-performing NICUs, you'll learn three practical strategies to create an information-rich culture where people speak up sooner, problems surface earlier, and better decisions follow.
