"People in positions of power are most effective when they exercise caution and restraint in the use of that power"

Should people exercise caution and restraint in the use of the power when they in position in order to be most effective, as the statement contends? I concede with the author that there are some advantages when powerful people carefully use the power. Nevertheless, in some circumstances people in position should be use power with more prowess.

To begin with, I agree with the author insofar as caution and restraint help people have better understanding and make better use of power. When they are carefully in use of power, they certainly scrutinize and analyze every pertinent tiny thing thoroughly, then make the final decision. Moreover cautious people in position of power likely have propensity to accept other people’s advice and criticism, which leads to a more effective results reflecting democracy. Turning a retrospect of Chinese history, in Tang Dynasty, one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history Li Shimin, inherited the greatest power from his father; however he never abused such right, but to ask his consultant, Wei Zheng, for advice and criticism. Thus, with the help of Wei Zheng, no wonder Emperor Li owns not only a prospective country but also the public’s admire.

The author’s contention also finds ample empirical support in the opposite situation. It seems as if human nature that with power people tend to make peccadillo, sometimes even commit crimes if they do not exercise caution and restraint. The greater the power obtained, the greater the appetite for everything, including money, sex, as well as power itself. In China in recent years, teem of officials, from a village mayor to Finance Minister, committed crimes including defalcation, bribery and wench. From the cover of their crimes, we may easily find that it is the power they possessed that stimulated their voracity, and moreover to abuse of the power that finally pushed them to the deep dark pit.

However, upon further reflection it becomes clear that sometimes people with power should break the fetters of routines and regulations, and therefore it is unfair to generalize about the assertion that people exercising caution and restraint in use of power are most effective. It is the head figure, the only one who has the power and has the right of using the power, to alter the situation. Take politics as an example. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, F. D. Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems. Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until almost 1940, many programs initiated in the Roosevelt administration continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce. One of his most important legacies is the Social Security system. His aggressive use of an active federal government reenergized the Democratic Party, which dominated American politics until the late 1960s, thanks to Roosevelt's New Deal coalition. Without such audacious utilization of power, F. D. Roosevelt can hardly be memorized as the savor of American economy.

In finally analysis, whether people are most effective when exercising caution and restraints in use of power must be addressed as a case-by-case basis. While in most cases, power holders should be careful of the power to make better understanding and better use of it, together with avoiding serious mistakes. At the same time, when facing situation like great depression, deep morale, people in positions of power are responsible for the enact of new measurements, even they are beyond the former regulations.
