'''Power position''' is a concept from Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese practice of studying one's position within one's surroundings.

In Feng Shui, the Power Position or "Dragon Seat" is the physical position in the room for a business meeting, which supposedly has the most power.<ref>{{Cite web | title = Feng Shui and the power position - Shui To Go! | accessdate = 2013-06-16 | url = http://shuitogo.com/power-feng-shui/ | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130619214914/http://shuitogo.com/power-feng-shui/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2013-06-19 }}</ref> The person in this position can see all entrances to the room, and is seated against a wall or other structure, so that no activity occurs behind the person.<ref>{{Cite web | title = Feng shui office tips, desk location, color and interior decoration ideas | work = Spaceflavor | accessdate = 2013-06-16 | url = http://www.spaceflavor.com/Feng_Shui_Office_Tips_Decoration.html }}</ref> This makes this person the focus of attention to everyone else in the room.
