Power and influence are of themselves not necessarily bad. The physical universe seems to be constructed thus: things clot together (galaxies, solar systems, mountain ranges, ant hills), and in the clotting process, someone (or something) is bound to assert, "I am in charge here!" (as ever, thx to Al Haig for that phrase).
But Jesus taught, "That is the way it is in the world, but it should not be so with you. With you, whomever wants to be great, should be the least of all" (Matt 20:16; Mk 9:35). So I overlook it at least somewhat in Corporation X but take a rather dim view of it when "I am in charge here" inevitably rears its head among the faithful.
