It's just something to aspire to, if you have the strength.
Honestly, more and more often I find myself in situations where decisive leader action should be taken, and either noone knows what to do, or no one is sure, or no one wants to step on toes.
It's a scary thing, being given power, or the keys to the kingdom as it were. You owe it to the weaker-thans and the fools and the children to do your utmost to create and do more. And if an honest man if given more power and responsibility than he can manage, he grows into it, and he tries to give it to the right person, if they appear before he is ready for the responsibility.
If I want more responsibility, I need more power, and vice versa. A balance and check to help stave off corruption. Classic.
And honestly, I think that this book's title is really not appropriate at all. The ethos is on honesty and integrity in using power to create good results for everyone. I think that the only thing that I could argue is that some people aren't as conscious of the appreciation for results exchange, and may come to resent that maybe?
Either way, any source of power is mutable by one of the great universals. Anything can be corrupted.
It's in the striving against this that true heroes are born.
