Vanessa Van Edwards breaks down Forbes' four measures of power: control (how many people you influence), wealth (financial resources), spread (how many different spheres you dominate), and usage (whether you actually exercise that power).
at what Forbes uses as its 4 variables for power. So when Forbes creates its list of the most powerful people, there are 4 different variables that it looks at that I thought would be interesting for us to take note of. The first variable is control. Control is the amount of people a person has influence over. The second is wealth, the amount of financial resources controlled by each person. The third is spread, the number of categories or spheres a person is powerful in. And the last one is usage, the ability of a person to use his or her power.
