40 Examples of Control

 ,
Control is the power to command organizations, systems and resources. This has a negative connotation when it is used towards people as you influence, direct or lead people as opposed to controlling. This being said, control can be exercised over societies, political frameworks, bureaucracies, organizations and teams that people belong too. Likewise, control can be exercised over processes, vehicles and machines. Accountability is tied to control whereby those with the power to control something are accountable for failures.
