Zero Edge
Many people (especially politicians) say whatever words they need to, to receive what they want. Being authentic to them is actually a burden because it has the potential to do the opposite of giving them what they want. A person who has a reason for what they believe in isn't powerful because everyone agrees with them immediately. They are powerful because they have the fortitude to present WHY they believe what they believe, not just patronize people with what they think they want to hear.
