Power, purpose, and the American presidency with Jared Cohen

WorkLife with Adam Grant

NOTE

Power, Corruption, and Purpose

Power, as observed in psychology, does not corrupt individuals but rather reveals their true values and traits. When individuals lose power, it can lead to uncovering or concealing their authentic selves.

The power of the office may hinder individuals from pursuing their true passions and purposes, leading to a period of self-discovery and reconnection with their authentic selves.
