«Think back to elementary school, when you were asked what you wanted to be when you grew up. Did anyone you know tell the adults they wanted to be a VP of Marketing? No—kids dream of doing something useful. They want to be firemen, or artists, or scientists. It might sound like I’m demeaning the executive class, and I am.»
Absolutely! The "default" assumption of people who want to be "leaders" that everyone else wants to become one as well is so toxic.
