I believe power manifests itself like a spiral.

It starts from the individual's initial thoughts of having a voice inside (eg of discontent with a current situation)
Further in, the thoughts change to how the individual sees themselves in relation to their community or culture, and whether those around them encourage these inner thoughts.
Inwards again (all the while the feeling of power is stronger) the individual sees how they fit in relation to those directly around them and whether they feel they can influence them to agree with their thoughts when they speak them outwardly.
Finally, the power manifests at its strongest point once their outward actions directly imitate their innermost feelings, they feel that their opinion is agreed upon by those around them and have been granted permission (whether imagined or real) to act.

The spiral however, can either travel upwards or downwards depending on the positive/negative energy emitted by their actions.

Power is something that people thrive from and it is in every day life. However, power does need a structure, as the people who have the power to change and make things happen, need a structural set of guidelines to guide their principles in power. Power can relate to people who are in charge of businesses, people who work in parliament and have the right to change and make decisions, to name a few.

Power is having the ability to do something or have a certain way of doing so. This ability has an influence on others.

Power enables people to influence the behaviour of others or the course of events, which can be seen in settings. However, it can be abused.

He challenged that power is gathered by people in acts of taking over situations, whether they be large or small scale, and using it for persuasive and coercive behaviour. He used the term 'power/knowledge' as a joint concept to show that power is seen and comes out through knowledge, scientific understanding and truth.

“Knowledge is power. Power to do evil...or power to do good. Power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil.”

Power corrupts, leads to selfish behaviour and a sense of entitlement. People avoid being dominated and those who lack power often attempt upward mobility. Having power allows individuals to more readily pursue their desires and needs. Power is the ability to meet one’s needs but contrasts with perspectives that power is the ability to influence or control others’ thoughts, feelings or behaviour.

power can be a positive or negative depending on how it is used. power can be used to get a job done and organise and delegate to a team. however it can also be used in the wrong way to control others and intimidate them, this does not create a nice atmosphere to work in.

The word ‘power’ is defined as ‘the ability to cause or prevent an action’. Power is often viewed as a source of order, or a source of comfort depending on an individual’s position, many people believe that without power, there would be ….ANARCHY!!!! Furthermore, there would be no stability. Foucault focuses on how power is constituted by accepted forms of knowledge, understanding, and truth. He highlights the idea that truth induces power. Foucault recognises that power is not just a negative or repressive thing that places people (not always appropriate people, eg. Donald Trump) in front of others based on what position they are in and who has a bigger force.

power should not been seen as shenanigans. it should rather be portrayed as holistic enhancement that needs to be reasonably adjustmented with colleagues/teams , family or friends, in order to promote and acquire clear objectives.

Power can be distributed to others. If someone else is accountable then this could give others a sense of freedom thus empowering them.

Some people use power to their advantage, reaching a goal by working hard within a team or as an individual. However, if used negatively it can be called an abuse of power, causing individuals to resent said 'power holder'

“Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

Power is seen to be different things by different people. Some believe power is important to get a job done well, they are usually the people who think they have power over others. If everyone communicated well and knew what their expectations were there would no need for any one person to be more powerful than the next.

People need to feel like they have 'the power' in order to act on it and use it. People may not realise they have the power to do something new, oppose something or change something. For example, within my setting, some practitioners do not feel like they have the power to set up an activity which may be a bit different and unique. This may be influenced by the way they are made to feel by room leaders, managers and other practitioners. They may feel intimidated to do something new.
