> Power is the ability to do work quickly This is absolutely not the definition of power. Perhaps it should be, but in the real world there is only a tenuous correlation between competence and power. When a person has attained power, they are often less compelled to provide sound argumentation for a perspective or solution. This can be expedient, assuming competence, but it can also lead to anything from wasted resources to the downfall of empires. Rather than placing the onus on those with less power, I'd say those with more power should remain humble and open to new perspectives, and impatience should be taken as a signal to guide those with less power, experience, and/or skill.
