1. Does power, as Lord Byron suggests (Hughes et al., ch. 4), tend to "corrupt" the power holder? If so, what are some of the ways it happens? Is it possible subordinates are corrupted by a superior's power? How? Or is it even possible that supervisors can be corrupted by a subordinate's power?

2. Is leadership just another word for influence? Can you think of some examples of influences that you would not consider leadership (Hughes et al., ch. 5)?
