We’re all taught the Lord Acton saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But the more time I spend looking into power, the less I feel that is always true. What I do feel is invariably correct-what power always does-is reveal. Power reveals. When a leader gets enough power, when he doesn’t need anybody anymore-when he’s president of the United States or CEO of a major corporation-then we can see how he always wanted to treat people, and we can also see-by watching what he does with his power-what he wanted to accomplish all along.
