Masterclass 02
Narratives, Ranking and Leadership
Understand the story, and you begin to see the power dynamics.
Organizations are shaped not only by structures and processes, but also by stories: who we are, what matters, who belongs and who has influence. These narratives guide behavior, often without us noticing.
In this masterclass, we explore narratives, ranking and leadership. Ranking refers to formal and informal hierarchies of status, position and influence. Who gets to speak? Whose perspective matters? Which stories keep existing relationships in place?
We examine how leaders consciously or unconsciously reinforce or challenge dominant narratives — and how more productive conversations and new possibilities for collaboration can emerge
