About This Quote

If you can abuse your power, you have too much. Power comes from the word "power," which stems from the Greek word for "to carry." The job of a leader is to be able to take something from someone else and put it to use. In other words, a leader's job is to make sure his or her followers don't have too much power in the wrong hands.
