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!
