This session will share an update to a classic management exercise, with new wrinkles and expanded content. “A Simple but Powerful Power Simulation” was introduced by Bolman and Deal (1979). New instructions create a simulated organization with top executives, managers, and line workers, and the top executive team is empowered to take actions and make changes, including decisions that are unwise and unfair. Detailed information will be provided to session participants regarding the setup and administration of the exercise. Suggestions for application and improvement will be discussed.
