People sometimes change when they are given power (e.g. when they are promoted to a managerial position or other position of authority). Power tends to reveal one's true character.

From 'Who Are You When I'm Not Looking' by Blake Shelton:

My oh my, you're so good looking
But who are you when I'm not looking?

Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad?

Who are you when no one is looking? Are you caring and kind? Are you easily tempted? What is your character?
