Leader.
The person who leads.
The person who commands a group.
The person who commands an organization.
This outside habit starts with internal habits.
The ability, and desires, for control – starts within.
It manifests outside and can often be named leadership.
With this way of being comes certainty.
Control creates certainty.
That is what the leader can get, anyway.
This innate desire can spill into every aspect of one's life.
Unless examined, it can get in the way.
It can get in the way of organizational growth.
Of taking the business to "the next level" – whatever that looks like.
After all, what brought you to your current level of success won't get you to your next level of success.
A change of habits, ways of being, ways of seeing, must be had.
And to be had, the leader must allow themselves to be led.
The leader must learn surrender.
The leader must learn to let go.
The leader must learn to trust in others.
Combine the characteristics of the leader within the CEO-archetype and the dominant strength can be overused.
The need for control exists at the highest levels because that is the process.
That is where said people end up... the need for control, the ability to lead others in the interest of control can take people to the top.
And that version of being has limitations that create the ultimate glass ceiling.
This version of being requires one to allow themselves to be led to break that glass ceiling.
This unbalanced force looks different for different people.
Being led by something or someone often requires an intensity greater than the intensity of the leader.
I wonder what would happen if it did not need to be.
