The key to power
1:00
If you look at the word "POWER", you see the word "OWE" right in the middle of it.
It makes sense. Power is often built through social connections, and this basically means that the more favors you bestow upon people, the greater the number of people who "owe" you a favor.
Politicians often play this game of "I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine."
So I guess the success secret is to find a way to quickly and efficiently do favors for a LOT of people, so you can build, slowly but surely, your power base.
