Research indicates that being in a position of power not only leads to increased responsibilities and decision complexity but also fundamentally alters leaders’ cognitive and emotional frameworks.
As leaders ascend in the hierarchy, the psychological distance to their subordinates expands. This can boost leaders’ confidence but also lead to over-reliance on stereotypes and generalizations.
The altered information flow caused by power changes how leaders receive feedback, often insulating them from critical perspectives and leading to biased decision-making.
Increasing power can lead to objectifying those in subservient positions, as leaders may begin to view their team solely as resources, neglecting emotional connections.
