    Leadership without ego. A rare commodity.

    I haven't watched any of the links but might I suggest you need ego (confidence) without vanity or narcissism, or worse, landing on the sociopathic spectrum to be a good leader.

    Most in politics and a lot of leadership positions display serious amounts of behaviour from what is referred to in psychology as the dark triad of pathologies.

    Interestingly many of the best surgeons in the world fall into the Psychopath category.

    These traits are also some of the biggest drivers of successful outcomes.

    I'd argue they are drawn to positions of power and control and tend to push out those that have more empathy, so dominating their field.

    And just an observation, vets are much more empathetic and with far better social skills than the majority of human specialists I've met.
