“With great power comes great responsibility”.
The oft-quoted wisdom of Uncle Ben certainly makes the point that power and responsibility go hand in hand.
This issue, of course, is with balance.
Lots of power, very little responsibility: Potential destruction.
Significant responsibility, minimal power: Stall, apathy, and dissatisfaction on all fronts.
If you’re given some responsibility, make sure it comes with the power to fulfil it.
How many people get a bad reputation for not fulfilling their responsibilities, who really just lack the necessary power to effect the actions required to meet the responsibility?
