POWER vs EMPOWERMENT
I've been thinking these days about the differences between those who grasp for power as contrasted with those who provide leadership | These two things do not necessarily correspond and, using the examples provided today in USA houses of government the Republicans have the clear opportunity, now that they have grasped power to show us whether or not, as a group, they are capable of exercising leadership | The capsule examples shown thus far do not make me feel encouraged |
Joel, at Pax Nortona comes at the subject from a slightly different direction; namely, considering that which "distinguishes the power hungry from the empowering types" | Well worth the read | ¶ 07:46
