Machtspiele im Job: Mikropolitik verstehen & souverän bestehen

4 May 2026, with Joël Kaczmarek and Nick Lawitzke

Summary

This episode is in German.

HR director and psychologist Nick Lawitzke examines micropolitics and the power games present in every organisation, whether open or hidden. Rather than standard theory, he describes the grey areas: why influence does not always come from above, and how power draws on networks, knowledge or charisma. The Money Monday episode covers the different sources of power in a company, the mechanisms at work when resources are contested, and how influence can be used constructively to advance change.
