Influence vs. Power -- Lessons from The Breakfast Club

Michael Grinder here. How do I explain what is appropriate and what is inappropriate power? Because if you don't understand that, whether you're a police officer, a teacher, or a parent, you're going to overuse power.

So, I'm going to use a scene from the classic movie, 1985, "The Breakfast Club." The scene is called, "Eat My Shorts." And this is the film right now, exactly where it all starts. We're going to watch it the first time, and then the second time through, I'm going to stop and talk about:

-- Where is the power?
-- How is it being exhibited?
-- Who's actually doing the escalation here?
