Repeat after me. "I am a power hungry leader." Those words sound more like a confession than an aspiration, don't they? But I'll argue that true leaders are indeed power hungry and they should be, provided it's for the right reasons. That's a message I make clear time and again in "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW' and the message I shared in a recent commencement address I delivered. I listed ten distinct powers I wanted the graduates to have and to share.
I turned that commencement address into a column and podcast for Poynter.org.
Here's a link so you can read all ten -- and even one bonus power, too!
