Founders

research suggests there are two distinct modes of leadership: dominance and prestige. in my life i have seen many ~great (effective?) founders demonstrate dominance, but who are the great prestige-based leaders? is it possible to inhabit both / must you as a founder?

is this simply war time vs peace time ceo?

i don’t think so. ofc there’s a thin line between being commanding and demanding as a leader which separates someone from a leader vs iron fist ruler imo

while lots of iron fist rulers dominated the ceo role in the past, i hopeful that era has evolved with the introduction of understanding the importance of EQ, and leading with authority doesn’t mean leading with fear
