Welcome to the next installment of the culture eroder (and corresponding culture builder) series. And today’s culture eroder is: power language.
Power language is anything that draws conspicuous attention to power differentials within your team or organization. Power language can take the form of using titles when it’s not necessary, building mystery around certain meetings or decisions that not everyone is a part of, or many other things.
Listen in to hear more about what power language is, why it erodes culture, and what different language builds culture.
