Why do leaders bring out their edge?

That means that if you observe your boss’s power, it’s probably because he/she is trying to modify some behavior – be it a person challenging him/her in a meeting or a business unit heading in the wrong direction.

What is the best use of power?

Best use of power is to drive change. If you have power, the most productive use is not to assert dominance or control, which can erode team spirit and even culture over time. The most productive use is to drive needed organizational change. That means using your power to make things happen that wouldn’t otherwise happen without you.
