The Culture of Power

The Culture of Power refers to the underlying norms, values, and practices within an organization or society that shape how power is distributed, exercised, and maintained. It influences who holds authority, how decisions are made, and how individuals respond to leadership. This culture can foster hierarchy, loyalty, and practices that reinforce existing power structures, often affecting transparency, fairness, and inclusion. Understanding this culture helps explain why certain behaviors persist and how power dynamics impact organizational or societal functioning.
