If we want “good people” to seek power and remain in it, then the pathway to power itself has to be structured in a way that does not demand they abandon what makes them ���good” in the first place. Many such “good” people do not avoid leadership because they lack ambition or conviction; they avoid it because the process often requires compromise, aggression, or moral flexibility just to get in the room, and even more to stay there.
When systems reward manipulation over integrity, thoughtful people step back because they don’t want to become something else to survive inside that system. So the issue is not simply that good people don’t want power. It’s that the cost of acquiring and holding it often feels like a trade-off against their values.
If we want better leaders, the incentives, norms, and processes around power have to make character sustainable, not punish it.

After Dark “The EPITOME Tour” is headed your way!! (https://t.co/4ZZUWSlZ6I)
Blackstone didn't buy 274,000 homes to be landlords.
They spent $1 trillion turning homeownership into subscription housing.
They are creating a generation that will own nothing and rent everything.
While families dream of white picket fences, Wall Street dreams of permanent tenants 🧵
After school programs losing funding, no teens only clubs/parties, no boy bands to fan over and any app that starts off for teens, adults take over (TikTok for example). The youth are slowly having no choice but to “be in grown folks business”
BRAINSTORM, outline, rough draft to swap with your classmates, THEN the teacher checked it and THEN it was time for the final draft. the kids are not obtaining any of these critical skills. also the final draft HAD to be in script for certain classes/grades.
As a student of History and observer of people, a lot of you seem to only view violence in the physical form. That way of thinking is dangerous. It allows you to forget poverty is violence. That denying you healthcare is violence. That polluting your water and air is violence.
Don't talk yourself out of applying for a job. Let the damn Recruiter/Hiring Manager tell you No. But don't tell yourself no. Don't block your own blessing because you self-selected yourself out.
