Abstract
Power is an interesting subject. For how many Emmy Award-winning television shows we make about it, few understand the fundamental nature of how power is acquired—and there’s the rub: power isn’t acquired, it’s granted. The ability to influence another person hinges on how much they allow you to influence them. Therefore, your power is determined by how much other people are willing to give you, which they decide by how they perceive you. And people’s perception of you is shaped by how you communicate.
