Power
From MgmtWiki
Full Title and Meme
Power has been the source of control over one's environment since the origin of life on Earth.
Context
Benjamin Constant[1] argued for the need to limit sovereignty. Unbounded power, whether exercised in the name of a people, a king, or an assembly, is a very perilous thing. This is because when sovereignty is unlimited "there is no means of sheltering individuals from governments."
