Description
The cliche of bright red lipstick and shoulder pads as symbols of power for women went out of style in the 80s, thank goodness.But who gets power at work today and why? And what do you need to do to keep it?Social psychologist Professor Dacher Keltner, from the University of California, Berkley has studied power for 25 years. And it turns out, the Machiavellian approach to power (force, deception, manipulation) is not what keeps you in power. Neither does red lipstick.Thanks to James Law, Chief People Officer, Estimate One, Cassandra Goodman author and executive coach plus our anonymous This Working Lifers, who shared their stories! Due to the huge amount of interest in this topic next week we dig deeper into the interplay of gender and power at work.Producer: Maria Tickle

Dual-career couples are now the rule rather than the exception - in Australia 65 per cent of couples with children both work. Jennifer Petriglieri is a professor of organisational behaviour at INSEAD Business School and she shares her research on the crucial transitions couples must navigate to make sure they not just survive but thrive in love AND work. She covers the contract she and her now-husband signed at the start of their relationship, how to have the difficult conversations around career (often is more about a power struggle), Jennifer's book is Couples That Work. Thanks to our couple Scott and Laura, our anonymous doctor and Kate Bennett Ericksson for their time and honest insights. by This Working Life
