About Power
by Miki SaxonWhy do people spend so much hard-earned money and so much precious time to become “leaders?”
Is it because leaders have influence?
Or because they crave power?
In actuality there is only one true source of power and that’s control.
There are only two things worth controlling: money and information.
It’s obvious that anyone who controls money has power.
The power that comes from controlling information is covert and insidious.
Until you see it in action.
Then it is obvious that people who control the flow of information within their organization wield great power.
And it doesn’t matter if they are positional leaders or working staff — they have power.
The power that comes from wealth can do great good or equally great evil.
But the power acquired from information control is always evil.
