This is TOTALLY a big company observation but when someone schedules a meeting with me I’m hyper-aware of whether they’ve selected a conference room near me or near them (midway is rarely picked). With my team I usually ask them to come to me (and i’m talking about just a few hundred feet at most so it’s not a huge deal) but when i’m visiting others, i consciously choose a room near them as opposed to calling them over.
Does anyone else experience room scheduling alpha behavior? Or are there other workplace dynamics that you note with regards to displays of power?
