Recommendation

Harvey Weinstein was powerful, but the new power model took him out in the #MeToo tsunami, as co-authors Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms explain during this Talks at Google episode about their book, New Power. They cite Airbnb, which merged new and old power modes to overcome a pending California regulation by hiring lobbyists and deploying hosts as door-to-door advocates. New power is decentralized, but it requires some structural elements of the old power model to retain vigor. This fast-moving video conversation will enlighten leaders who are trying to unravel the dynamics of the new power paradigm.

Take-Aways

  • The new power structure vanquished the old in the case of Harvey Weinstein.
  • Companies should seek to blend the old and new power models.
  • Tech companies, by definition, don’t follow the new power model.
