The Measure of Power
1 Power reveals itself not in command, but in how it is used.
2 Strong leaders make themselves smaller so others may stand.
3 Weak leaders make themselves larger by diminishing those below them.
4 Power that cannot tolerate dissent is already afraid.
5 A leader secure in purpose invites correction.
6 Mercy is not softness; it is precision guided by humanity.
7 Justice without compassion becomes machinery.
8 Compassion without justice becomes theater.
9 The measure of power is what remains after the leader leaves.
10 Leave behind people who can lead, not people who still kneel.
