The future of power, with professor Jennifer Jordan

Fifteen years ago, the concept of a social media influencer was in its infancy, but today these communicators shape global conversations on everything from retail to politics. Is that what evolution looks like?IMD professor Jennifer Jordan says "no". In her words, evolution implies a positive change, and power doesn't evolve, it transforms. To stay ahead of the curve, executives need to keep an eye on power trends and work on their own approach through feedback assessments and coaching. In Episode 16 of ManagementCast, Jordan discusses the future of influence and what to expect from the next generation of power brokers.Jennifer Jordan is a social psychologist and a digital transformation expert.
