Great leaders can answer that question. And if the answer is “nothing” that is a problem. (src: Video_ Leadership through Inspiration - Simon Sinek)
at the beginning of covid, I called a friend and asked: How to compartmentalise emotions? I knew we were dealing with trauma, and I wanted to be mission focussed.

the education to become a leader is a lifestyle, it's like the choice to become healthy at the early days it's usually a lot of heavy lifting at a steep learning curve - I have to change the way I eat - I have to go to the gym I hate that And then you get into shape and you feel good and you look good and your doctor is very happy with you And the worst part is, once you get into shape, you have to keep going to the gym and eating healthy for the rest of your life It's not something you do, achieve your goal and then stop It's the choice to live a life that way Even though there might have been a finite goal in the short term Leadership is the same it is a lifestyle it is a muscle that requires constant exercise and though you may study all of the theory about leadership and you may have been good at it at one time if you don't keep it up the muscle will atrophy (src: [[video-the-infinite-game-how-to-lead-in-the-21st-century-simon-sinek....

fundamentally, scale breaks things family < 25 organisations can be like a family and then they hit about 25 people and it starts to get really complicated now you need structure and hierarchy plus you're not all friends anymore ?? < 150 you can still all know everybody's name you can still refer to people you'll max out at about 150 and then it get's really complicated Quote_ humans aren’t made for scale...
