The True Nature of Power: How It Reveals Who We Are

Have you ever seen someone completely change when they get a little bit of power? Power doesn’t change people—it reveals who they really are. 💡

Studies show that power can reduce empathy, increase impulsivity, and amplify personality traits. That’s why not everyone is ready for leadership. True leaders use power to lift others up, not tear them down. 💪✨

Here’s how to make sure power is used responsibly:

1️⃣ Practice self-awareness: Ask yourself, 'Am I ready to put others first?'

2️⃣ Surround yourself with accountability: Great leaders listen to feedback.

3️⃣ Build empathy daily: It’s a skill that makes all the difference. ❤️

Think of power like fire: In the right hands, it warms. In the wrong hands, it burns. 🔥 So, who do you trust with the fire?
