@screwturn "People who actually are leaders are typically stressed, exhausted, and miserable, and find out that their actual power is very narrow and always comes at a steep price."
In autocratic systems, yes.
In healthy, leaderful groups, leaders care for themselves, better or at least know where they aren't & are working on it it 🤣. They get leadership includes being real about capacity (including their own), and try to adjust what they say and what they do so they match.
And lead together.

@screwlisp @dougmerritt @robinhouston Rube Goldberg, move over.
This is the kind of zoom out where the real world analogy might be you're directly studying a living system for decades, and not seeing it, because it will take another three millennia for the pattern that is 'life' there to begin to be apparent.
