In this series, we’re discussing some of the snares that can surface when a business leader begins experiencing success. One common snare is power.
As business leaders grow in success, they also tend to grow in power, which can easily corrupt.
Harvey Weinstein had the power to create or destroy actresses. He abused his power to force many women to have sex with him in exchange for being famous.
Ecclesiastes 4:1 teaches, “And behold, I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and power was on the side of their oppressors, but they had no one to comfort them.”
Power can be used generously, or it can be abused. Find an accountability partner to help you guard against becoming drunk with power.
