Power and Freedom

I heard this sentence a few days ago, but I was shocked by what the school is doing.

"Freedom is actually a game that is bigger than power, force is what you can control, freedom is something you can release" - Harriet Rubin

Do educators consider "power" and "control" or do they think "freedom" when studying school technology?

Since my blog is labeled "Social Media", I have a friend who has to copy and paste my blog and post it on her school's website. This is not about freedom, but about power and control.

As Stephen Covey said, technology should give the opportunity to release talent. It should be about providing opportunities, not control.

This also applies to leadership. Many people talk about 'decentralized decision', but we need to rethink everything. This is not about freedom, but about power and control. This creates a lack of trust and an unhealthy environment. The administrator who I did the best said that they trust me most.

When people are hired, he should say "I trust in you". We need to give them the freedom to release their talent. There is a need to say "yes", seldom to say "no".

Study carefully the relationship between power and freedom, some proposals for power management (for discussion). The relationship between power and freedom may be surprising for some people, but it is given by definition almost (although not mentioned much). The way freedom and things we like to live; and we are not affected by the experiences and power we do not like. Free participation in activities requires power - in order to do so "allowed" -. There are many kinds of power. Power is related to individuals, power is related to others, power is related to natural or non-human environments. These types of matrices show six basic peer relationships (you may need to distinguish them to find the proper power control).

The first interesting thing about the relationship between power and freedom is that for individuals it works in a way very different from how individuals work on groups. For lonely people, freedom and power are synonyms: the higher you have, the better you can avoid what you can do and you do not like what you like. I have heard of it. The best strategy for individuals to maximize their happiness and happiness is to maximize their strength.
