Fantastic article! I like the analogy, especially when you consider how human cognition shapes leadership traits. I couldn’t help but think of some of the work of Iain McGilchrist’s exploration of the brain’s duality and Daniel Kahneman’s insights into cognitive biases.

This is a well-written post, not just to read but to study!

My strongest "muscles" are: Integrity and resilience. Nowadays I'm paying more attention to my Strategic Thinking.

Yes, we don't have to be perfect at each of those traits, but none of them can be ignored.

I left LinkedIn to get away from endless nonsense about “great leaders”. Please take it back there!
