Today, more than ever we are witnessing the downfall of those in positions of high status & power. From celebrities, athletes, politicians, organizational and ministry leaders; individuals are continuing to fall, with regrettable ramifications in the lives of so many. Power can and often does change people. The influence of power is a critical component of success in every organization, or group. While most focus on how leaders can use their power to influence the performance of their followers; this timely presentation addresses the real issues of how power can affect the behavior of those in power, ultimately contributing to at-risk behavioral episodes. A Power Surge can occur when the social power a person has, collides with their willpower (self-control), resulting in behavioral outages influenced by their power, which are undesirable, regrettable, and often irreparable.
