Workshop
Exclusive workshops with international experts address the most pressing challenges of modern leadership: from managing innovation portfolios to empowering people and teams in times of uncertainty. Designed for leaders who want to strengthen their strategic capabilities and gain practical tools to shape the future of their organizations.
THE POWER GAME: READ PEOPLE. SPOT MANIPULATION. PROTECT YOURSELF.
Speaker:
Jonathon Grantham, Managing Director, Nexoid, Computer Scientist, Entrepreneur and Business Transformation Specialist, Author of The Corporate Sociopath Handbook
This highly interactive workshop explores the less visible forces shaping corporate life, how personality, power and manipulation influence decision making, leadership and organisational outcomes. Led by Jonathon Grantham, author of The Corporate Sociopath Handbook, the session gives senior leaders practical insight into the psychological patterns and tactics that shape influence and power within organisations.
At its core is the Dark Five personality framework: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Sociopathy, Sadism and Spitefulness. Through real world examples and interactive exercises, participants will learn to recognise these behavioural patterns, understand the motivations behind them and develop effective strategies for dealing with challenging personalities.
The workshop will also explore mechanisms of deception and psychological manipulation, informal power dynamics, and how organizational structures can be used to serve personal interests. Participants will gain practical tools to recognize manipulative tactics, protect themselves and their teams, navigate complex dynamics of influence, and make better-informed business decisions.
This session is recommended for:
CEOs, board members, HR directors and senior executives who want to better understand the psychology of power within organisations, recognise manipulative behaviour and protect their teams, decision-making and organisational integrity.
