Greatness is not pursued by force through which to exploit others or indulge its idolatrous desires. Instead, you demonstrate you are truly great to the degree you treat power as a sacred yet sometimes seductive trust.

Few things are uglier or more sinister than abuse of power. And few things are more common among leaders. Jesus warns, woe to the person who abuses the powers associated with elevated rank! Persons don’t become great because they have been entrusted with power. No, persons become great because they refuse to exercise the power with which they have been entrusted in such a way as to disregard or disadvantage people over whom they have been given charge."
