Being serious onhere for a change, a good number of us from all Services attended a resettlement seminar, about 40 I guess. I think most ranked in the flt lt - sqn ldr bracket with the odd wg cdr.
We all completed the Myers-Briggs personality profile. About 2 people scored top left, IIRC, these were leaders with little regard for those following. The women tended towards one of the bottom corners and the majority, men, to the other corner. I think the women were in the more creative block.
Now by definition, everyone there was a leader. However we few would actually have been leaders from the front but leaders following the main leader.
Now the crux of the question should concern their airships.
How many of them are true leaders in the Harris, Dowding, Trenchard mold? Many start on the road to the stars but stop off on the landing others like the Seeb Air Cdre jump off.
