Are Hidden Power Dynamics
Killing Your Team's Collaboration?
FREE ASSESSMENT FOR HR LEADERS
Take the free Power Style Inventory™ assessment to reveal the real reasons behind team dysfunction—and the proven path to transform conflict into collaboration.
Build Teams That Thrive Under Pressure
You've tried team building. You've invested in communication training. You've even restructured teams.
Yet somehow, your smartest, most talented people still get stuck in the same destructive patterns:
Projects stall due to "personality conflicts"
Meetings become battlegrounds instead of brainstorming sessions
High performers avoid collaborating with certain colleagues
Decision-making grinds to a halt when stakes are high
Here's what most HR leaders don't realize: The problem isn't about personalities, communication styles, or even skills gaps.
It's about power—and how people unconsciously protect themselves when collaboration feels risky.
Learn how to unlock the hidden power dynamics that drive peak team performance.

Dear HR Leader,
In my 20+ years researching emotional intelligence and team performance, I've seen the same pattern play out in organizations across every industry.
A senior leader calls me in because their "dream team" of top performers has become a nightmare. Despite having the smartest people in the room, projects stall, meetings become battlegrounds, and decision-making grinds to a halt when stakes are high.
The typical response? More communication training. Team building retreats. Personality assessments that tell you Sarah is a "Driver" and Marcus is an "Analytical."
But here's what I've discovered through decades of research: 99% of people have at least one "emotional safety strategy" that kicks in during conflict—even among executives and high performers.
These unconscious patterns create what coaches and consultants call the "Drama Triangle":
―Victims who withdraw and avoid accountability
―Persecutors who blame and dominate discussions
―Rescuers who over-help and create dependency
When teams get trapped in these dynamics, it doesn't matter how talented individuals are. The collective intelligence plummets.
Traditional assessments miss this entirely because they measure stated preferences, not actual behavior under stress. They tell you who someone thinks they are, not how they actually show up when collaboration feels risky.
That's why I developed the Power Style Inventory—to reveal the hidden power dynamics that make or break team performance.
Where traditional assessments say "Sarah is a Driver personality," the Power Style Inventory reveals "Sarah defaults to control-by-blame when projects are at risk, triggering withdrawal in many of her teammates—and here's the exact pathway to transform that pattern."
This assessment isn't about changing personalities. It's about understanding the unconscious patterns that undermine even the most talented teams, and giving you a clear, science-based roadmap to transformation.
The assessment takes just 15 minutes, but the insights can transform how your teams collaborate for years to come.
