The Theater of Power: Why Your Position Is a Performance
Power isn't something we possess-it's something we perform. This revolutionary insight from Stanford professor Deborah Gruenfeld transforms how we understand influence in our daily lives. Despite her 25+ years researching power dynamics at the highest levels, Gruenfeld admits she still sometimes carries that childhood feeling of powerlessness. This paradox reveals a profound truth: power isn't an internal state but a social role we play on life's stage. We're all actors performing in different contexts, sometimes leading, sometimes supporting. The most effective people recognize which role they're in and perform it deliberately rather than reactively. When we understand power as performance rather than possession, we gain the freedom to step into our roles more effectively-whether we're running a meeting, negotiating a raise, or managing family dynamics. The question isn't "Do I have power?" but rather "What role am I playing in this scene, and how can I perform it well?"
