Most leaders chase strength, dominance, and control but Eddie Wilson argues the leaders who build what lasts develop something rarer: strength under control. In Episode 47, Eddie breaks down the difference between leading yourself, leading followers, and becoming a leader of leaders. He challenges you to measure your leadership against the traits found at the highest level. Eddie uses examples like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan to show how ego can drive success but also make an empire fragile, then introduces the three surprising traits with practical habits to cultivate them that set elite leaders apart.
