Leadership

Power. We all want it, but what IS it?

Power. It’s a big & loaded word, but what does it mean really?

In the past I would have understood power as my ability to get what I want, have what I want, and as money, success, influence, connection, position, status. If I was failing at these things I was not powerful. Or at the least, there were so many people out there with so much more power than me.

Here are my insights so far…
