Never confuse Power over someone with Leadership of someone.
Power is marked by the absence of freedom and choice in people.
Power hoards control through the hands of authority.
Leadership is marked by the presence of freedom and choice in people.
Leadership is marked by the presence of freedom and choice in people.
