Absolute Fire Man! I can't tell you how many times I've seen natural leaders in Big Blue turn to the dark side about everything you just said with the power and its addiction. I've been guilty of falling into this trap as well, and it was because of the culture that is displayed for promotion. Once I've decided to stop shining and "Performing" for "Leadership" and be a good dude and take care of the Team, things have changed tremendously for me all around, to include more happy time and precious moments with my family and more personal development for personal joy for myself.
Brother, you are so right! They quickly turn to the dark side when they get promoted. I hate that many leaders can't remain genuine when they start to climb the ranks. What a frustrating thing, to know someone and admire them and have them switch to someone else when they get a little recognition. Kudos to you for keeping it real and taking care of your people!
