The expected 'authority' lies in the executive and management levels. There are also many natural leaders that emerge daily that influence what work is done, how it's done, and when it's completed. Influential power is most often more potent than any positional power. The energy is this center is depleted when power is misused. Hidden agendas drive the decision-making.
Employees are uncooperative and non-communicative.
Management is non-responsive. Employees aren't empowered to do their work. This depletion is highly detrimental because the energy required for a power struggle is unavailable for use in more productive ventures. It negatively impacts direction and momentum. To revitalize the energy in the Power Center, make sure there's clear recognition of who's in charge.
