How power changes leaders

Power can enhance our strengths, but it also amplifies our weaknesses. For leaders, those aspects that become amplified are inevitably cascaded onto their people.

Whether you’re a frontline supervisor in your first management role or the CEO of a global multinational, being the boss changes you. Part of this is simply leaders adapting to the challenges and pressures inherent in all positions of power. Things like the wider scope of responsibilities, greater decision complexity, and heavier workloads.
