The document outlines six stages of personal power progression, with the first three considered external power driven by titles, success, and recognition from others. Stage 2 specifically involves power through association, where individuals are apprentices learning the culture and dependent on supervisors or leaders for a sense of worth. Moving past this stage involves gaining confidence through finding mentors, getting credentials, taking risks, and developing networks to do more independently.
