- The Power of Kindness and Emotional Intelligence

From the page: My own research has found that people with power tend to behave like patients who have damaged their brain's orbitofrontal cortex (the region of the frontal lobe right above and behind the eye sockets), a condition that seems to cause overly impulsive and insensitive behavior. Thus the experience of power might be thought of as having someone open up your skull and take out that part of your brain so critical to empathy and socially appropriate behavior.
