Public-radio item on business, power, & speaking up
March 16, 2016 7:19 AM   Subscribe

I'm looking for a story (roughly 5 minutes) that I heard on the NPR One app a few days ago: It was about how perceived power imbalances between people at the same managerial level in an office will lead to people participating in group problem-solving to different degrees, and how to "fix" it. My googling is just turning up stories about power companies & how awful meetings are. Help?

Since I heard it on NPR One, I know it's a public-radio piece but may not necessarily be produced by NPR. (Pretty sure it was not Planet Money.) I think it was recent and not one of their "from the archives" bits. I tried looking in my history in the app, but I could only see the last dozen or so stories I've listened to.

Best answer: Was it this Morning Edition story by Shankar Vedantam: "Why A Group's Power Dynamics Interferes With Collaboration," which was broadcast on March 11?

P.S. I found that by going to NPR.org, searching for "meeting power" and limiting results to the last 7 days.

Response by poster: God, that's exactly it. Thanks, I apparently just needed a second brain to figure it out. :)
