The dark gravitational pull of power can be intoxicating. What are you doing to combat the allure of positional power?
Here are 3 suggestions from John Baldoni:
1. Use your clout for good. Ask yourself: what good can I do with my authority? Focus on the positive change you can bring about. For example, does your power allow you to push for innovation or envision new possibilities?
2. Acknowledge the pull toward corruption. Don’t pretend that power doesn’t have a dark side. Think about how power can corrupt you; keeping it in mind can help you keep it in check.
3. Ask others to challenge you. Surround yourself with people who are willing to call you out.
