Power Players keep a watchful eye on people who abuse whatever limited power they have.
A little bit of power is a dangerous thing for some people. So Power Players become very good at picking those who’ll do well with power: those who are benevolent and gentle with it.
Power Players often find themselves in the position of having to delegate, and choosing well is a great skill.
Power Players learn to identify who will be a natural with power.
The ultimate test is giving a huge amount of it to someone and seeing how he or she uses it. If they are immediately drunk with the power, you know you have a megalomaniac on your hands.
Choose more wisely the next time.
