Part of my job is developing new managers and leaders and then have them do the same. But I find often when someone gets a little power things change. They have a concept that they are entitled to certain liberties or rights over others. Things that if they saw their employees do they would freak out. For example one employee I had pushed hard a policy on the floor and even watch as we terminated employees for violating the policy. When all along she was violating the policy! She was shocked when I terminated her on the spot.
We are tempted to always take advantage of what have. Why? Why are we so easily corrupted when we receive even a little power?
