Power - and possibly the reason for the lack there of.

I believe I have some power to influence in my immediate circle of friends and usually in smaller work groups, but in a grand scale affecting many many people... if I have the power, I do not exercise it. I know I do not do enough to empower others in the area of influence either. I have been conscious of this in the recent past (say, year or so) where I used to just take over a job and finish it because I deemed the other person involved would not be able to finish in time. I have maybe improved 30% on this trait and learned to pass on some more responsibility, but it's not where I would like it to be just yet. 

One particular weakness of mine that seemed to come through on the self assessment was my ability to influence via collaboration. I must relate this to what I previously stated as well, since I do like to work independently (in particular at work). I would need to break away from this by suggesting that goals required at work are best achieved with collaboration. There are not many achievements in the world without the support of a group, team, partner, or co-worker. I will likely have revise any development plan after seeking council from leaders that excel at this in the workplace. Starting with my own workplace would be ideal.
