[@TTFN55]

Where does leadership come into this?

[@Dr_Larken]

@@TTFN55 it’s leadership! Just because you have a high rank or in charge of a bunch of Marines. It does not mean you’re a good leader! The OIC under a firefight may freeze and an NCO or fellow young devil “even the kid you never imagined” would be the one keeping his shit together, directing other Marines being that leader, we never asked for but needed! Personally, I think leadership you either have it or you don’t! You may be able to get it overtime, but I think & believe there’s two types of good leaders, natural and power-hungry/ drivin! What I mean by that is some people crave the power and ultimately end up in a leadership position. Others end up in a leadership position and or phenomenal leaders, they could care less, but when they need to leave, they lead well! Edit: knowing your shit, confidence and putting someone in their place when they’re out of line!

[@patrickgrengs7594]

Power can be both perceived and actual. Perceived power can vanish nearly instantly -- in a word, this power is perceptual, it is in context of the senses. Actual power is grounded in reality -- this consists of physical, financial and mental strength. One does not perceive oneself to the tops of the highest, coldest, most remote and dangerous mountains on Earth.

[@momosgarage]

I said something along these line too, and I think it got memory-holed. The US and most of the western world has over criminalized real intimidation, which for centuries, has played a role in either tempering or displacing incumbent gatekeepers, who exhibited overly obtuse behaviors. If a leader is respected or trusted, the group protects them from rogue actors. If they aren’t, physical intimidation will take its natural course. Think of the Great Depression as a somewhat recent example, with the teamsters effect on society in the 20th century, or the rise of the Yakuza in Japan after WWII. The current administrative legal structure gives incumbent gatekeepers far more power, to "perceptually" hold back or banish competition, than they’ve ever had in history because the element of physical intimidation or receiving swift retaliatory action is now completely removed from their decision making process. So, in turn, they are free to be as obtuse as they please because there are little to no "perceived" physical consequences. Note, physical power isn’t the only way to challenge incumbent gatekeepers, but when the element of fear was removed from those holding positions in the current “management class” they became something more akin to Egyptian Royalty, as opposed to Feudal Lords of the 16th century or the aristocracy of 18th century France, who had to directly deal directly with or negotiate with uprising serfs. For example, what would the Comanche do today if the “management class” wasn’t negotiating in good faith, versus what they did in the 1870s? For those who know history, should the Comanche, if they time traveled to the current state, just follow the instructions dictated to them without question, because of a “management title” held by an “appointed person” and whose job it was to order them around?

[@Daniel_J_Duke]

Reputation is like a box. It's human nature to categorize you and mentally place you into a labeled box. If you jump out of that box, it makes them uncomfortable and they don't know what to do with you. Now they have to rearrange all of those mental boxes in their mind and it throws their perception of things out of whack. It's fine if that box is categorized 'loser' or 'nobody' and you jump out, but if your box is categorized as 'top dog' and you jump out, it causes one hell of a stir.

[@JasonBrown-zp8tx]

logistics is power placement, movement, time, is power is interconnected

[@JasonBrown-zp8tx]

energy is power. Birth, life, invention, everything greater than the sum of its parts is power. Leveraging and deleveragin are power. Observation with comprehension is power. Nature and the universe is power. Preparation with intent is power. Compassion, cruelty, hate. Love, obsession, attention are power. Etc. It's an inexhaustable list :) It's impossible to meet someone or go somewhere that isn't overflowing with limitless power and potential. It's probably magic

People aren’t the only thing continually judging you. Your iPhone is doing it now. People have zero clue how sophisticated the AI interface is on their phones. It isn’t just listening, tracking and, seeing you. It’s actually thinking about what kind of person you are. It’s way beyond simple anymore. It’s digging into your personality, your friends, your perspectives. Your phone is a valve through which your entire life passes. And you cannot turn it off. If you throw it away your acquaintances phones will pick up where yours left off. Think about that.

[@echoimprovement]

Reputation creates an invisible compounding effect that works in the background, either for or against you, depending on your past actions that have shaped your reputation. If you have a good reputation, everything you do benefits from it, even minor mistakes may be viewed more leniently. However, with a bad reputation, negative actions are magnified, and positive ones are minimized. Be mindful of how you continue to shape your reputation today, as it can impact your future self. Keep this in the back of your mind when making decisions or actions.

I agree on most of the stuff but when it comes to reputation is not always something you cannot gain back. I have seen plenty of people who does that. Also seen plenty of people succed greatly even when there reputation is bad. I believe people of power use reputation just for a instrument too use in there own benefit even if the there reputation is bad.

The Midwest is known for a pleasant and passive culture. Charlie Barens the comedian has made a career from it. I realized lately that they are that way because they have to play the long game in classically small and non transient communities. A harsh word or mis step can affect your standing for life. Gma always kept a certain amount of money in the bank because the tellers would gossip to the town who had money problems. The upside to this culture is the peace and prosperity of the Midwest. The downside is the passive aggressiveness plus depression and alcoholism and whatever else would never be discussed so suicide happens in bad times

[@codyadams4154]

ChatGPT: "Psychologists and academics tend to be skeptical of Robert Greene’s work because it lacks empirical evidence and scientific rigor. His ideas are usually categorized as popular psychology or self-help rather than serious psychology. Most psychologists wouldn’t rely on Greene's books for insights into human behavior or power dynamics, as they prefer theories backed by research and reproducible results. However, his work is often embraced by people who find his narrative appealing-especially those who are interested in strategies for gaining power or influence. It's less about it passing a rigorous "reality test" and more about resonating with people who like his framing of history and human behavior. In short, Greene's ideas appeal more to individuals who are drawn to his storytelling." In short, everything he writes is BS with good story telling to make it sound true

[@Veritasnetwork]

My background is Org Psych and I’m a successful CEO. Most of my career has been studying successful CEO’s. Some of what Green says is true but mostly it’s an observation of psychopaths and sociopaths in power. It is not what’s required to be there but rather an observation of many that get there. Point being, what he describes is not a recipe for success but rather a common glitch in the system. If he’s describing a glitch to enable it be fixed, great but, I rather think he’s describing what he thinks it takes to get to the top. In that regard, he’s offering very poor advice. Some of the most successful people in the world are very little Iike Greene describes. Many are, many are not. I suspect he’s hung around with and read up too much of the wrong type of leader. His personal fascination with Julius Ceaser is case in point. Ceaser existed in another time when the only way to the top was how Green thinks it still works. The world evolves and Greene misses that critical point.

[@averyintelligence]

Yours is also an observation
