Because I Said So! (i don't think so)


"We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom."

Stephen Vincent Benet
Early 20th century American writer

Whoever "they" were they were not the first nor the last to confuse the two.

And to the list of things they did not have I would add "control".

At most (and then not always) managers only manage.

  1. Which raises a good question. What is the difference between power and control? If you have one do you always have the other?

  2. I think there is more not in common between the two than there is similarity or sameness, although power can be used to control at least in the short term.
