“Power is simply the ability to have an effect, or to have influence. However, the right use of this influence is complex. The right use of power in positions of trust is not simply the result of good intentions. It is also the ability to act sensitively, creatively, and effectively in the service of others and yourself. This requires engaging attention, relationship mastery, and a lifetime involvement in increasing sensitivity to the impact of our use of power.”
