揮 brandish

I got the KEY to the army car in my hand, and I am brandishing it.

reveal the extent of one's power ★☆☆☆☆
発 (launch) + 揮 (brandish) = 発揮 (reveal the extent of one's power)

to reveal one's true strength, to get an opportunity to exercise one's full power (in economics, language ability, fighting, whatever)

conductor or commander ☆☆☆☆☆
指 (finger / point at) + 揮 (brandish) + 者 (professional) = 指揮者 (conductor or commander)
