Dominating Leaders get what they want, but lose what they need, in their "Brutus moments".
Under pressure, they push through aggressively, taking no prisoners. They sacrifice relationships for results.
As a person or as a leader, are you prone to Brutus moments?
Why might it keep happening to you, what alternative is available to you?
Heracles struggles with his inner Brutus
Chariot driving with recklessness. Javelin and discus throwing with brute force. Track running with agility and speed. These were Heracles favourite activities when growing up. In his late teens, he had grown into the strongest, fastest, tallest, and most muscled young fellow in the world. He had gods admiring him and bestowing him with signs of their favour. His reputation was cemented by the slaying of a fierce lion on Mount Cithaeron at the tender age of eighteen. The citizens of Thebe venerated Heracles, their hero, to such a degree, that King Creon of Thebe handed him his daughter Megara on a silver platter. All seemed sweet in life to young Heracles. Killing monsters and toppling tyrants was his daily occupation. His fame increased, he fathered a son and a daughter from Megara and become a devoted husband, lover, hero, dad.
