When thinking about people whom I considered to be powerful, I came up with the following:
Nelson Mandella
George.W.Bush
John.F.Kennady
Princess Diana
Mother Teresa
Police
Teachers
Parents
Oprah
Bill Gates and...
Osam Bin Laden
As you can tell, most of these people demonstrate good power and did the best they could do for other people.
When thinking about what these people have in common, I came up with.......
* They are all follwed by large and famous people, they all share wealth, and exposure to the public.
* All of these people are popular but in different levels.
* Mother Teresa and Princess Diana are popular in most countries around the world, where as Osam Bin Laden is disliked in most countries because he abused his use of power.
* All of the above people have authority and expect what they ask to be done.
* Power comes with position not just necesarily personality.
