The problem is that one can't just download the skills, they're learned. Sure, one can read a book, go to class, but good leaders grow into it, they don't click their fingers and become it.
Your last line is sensible.
Everyone likes to think about the additional income or standing leadership comes with and often get it wrong because that's their focus. In reality, it's lonely, extremely confronting, selfless and usually all-encompassing. Jumping into it too early/to soon is a big part of why people are monumentally bad at it.
not yet but I feel the day will come with the technology! They'll figure out a way to wire our brain or control us who knows haha.
As for now though, ya it's something that can't be downloaded but instead learned through observation and hands on. Not everyone is cut out to be leader though; some are just better at following despite that everyone should be trying to be a better version of themselves throughout their life.
Everyone loves money haha and with those leaders getting paid more, they should be doing a better job! I believe you that it can be lonely especially those that are high up in the ladder and those that do the silent work keeping our world better.
I think the end goal of leadership is nurturing the next people. Those that are retiring are looking for those that can replace and properly guide the next and so on. Something like what parents do that is probably under looked since they don't get paid monetarily but more with that proud feeling of seeing their child succeed in life. I feel parents are like the number 1 leaders in the world.
