I’m reading Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman et al and came across this reinforcement for my point in the Roger Bannister world record post, below, about the need to cultivate ‘Leadership’, not alpha ‘Leaders’; the latter being, without exception in my experience, simply egotists, not great leaders:
“As the sociologist Max Weber argued a century ago, institutions that endure thrive not because of one leader’s charisma, but because they cultivate leadership throughout the system.”
