"Others do not have power over you unless you give it to them."-A wise friend
Power and respect must be earned in order to be long-lasting.
Watch out for those who wish to command power, because they have a fascination with power. The people who use others as "pawns" in order to attain their goals.
You will meet entrepreneurs who tell you they have "an opportunity" for you, but what they are really doing is filling a vacant position to build their "empire".
They do not have your best intentions at heart, only theirs.
They are a not a good fit for you. They just have a "false power."
Only be with those who have your best interests at heart.
Those who are generous from the abundance in their soul, not those who are generous because a thirst for influence.

This is interesting because according to Sternberg's theory on Wisdom the person above only serving self-interest instead of successful balancing self-interest, group interests, and extra-personal interest.
Thus failing to exercise wisdom.
