McClelland's positive power-oriented characteristics include a sense of responsibility to help the organization achieve its goals, willingness to take risks for the sake of the organization, desire for feedback and recognition, and a focus on building power through alliances and relationships. "Explain just enough to pacify employees sufficiently so they won't ask questions" goes against the positive characteristics as it shows a lack of transparency and engagement with employees.
