“Most people associate command and control leadership with the military.”

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.
I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.
In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together.
When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression, we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans.
