While there are many bene ts that come from having power, there are also many risks. A lack of consequences can allow powerful people to make serious errors in judgment - with far-reaching impacts both on themselves and on their organizations.

She suggests that wise organizations establish checks and balances to provide protection from abuses of power, and circumvent potentially disastrous consequences.
