The best leaders have people and leadership skills, but have no desire at all for the power and might not even want the position. Two of the best bosses I've ever worked with begrudgingly were put into that position and did an excellent job. Kind of like Cincinnatus or George Washington, being perfectly content giving it all up and going back to a simple farm life.
- commandlinefan 5y ago> Two of the best bosses I've ever worked with Well... two of the best bosses from whose perspective? Your perspective of a great boss might be way different than the perspective of a metrics-obsessed "data driven" CFO.
- greedo 5y agoHaha. Comparing business leaders to Cincinnatus and Washington is perfect manager porn. I bet someone has written a book on the parallels. Can you name one business leader, just one, who has demonstrated no desire for power (in all its forms) and who didn't even want the position. Just one of "The best leaders" you're talking about.
