\u201cGo ahead. \u2018Socialize\u2019 my dinner. See what\u00a0happens.\u201d<\/p><\/div>In nature, ontos<\/em> and telos<\/em> (being and shoulding) are wed: They are the faces of the same coin \u2013 form as<\/em> function \u2013 and to find one is to find the other.<\/p>\n

So: All birds and all mammals are warm-blooded, and all warm-blooded creatures thrive by storgic love \u2013 the enduring love of families. How family is defined is dependent on the critter, but \u2013 ontos<\/em> being telos<\/em> being ontos<\/em> \u2013 family is who you share body-heat with.<\/p>\n

There’s more: The socialization of body-heat begat pair-bonding in birds \u2013 scaling their chances of survival \u2013 and lactation in mammals \u2013 scaling their storgic love to a state of frenzied worship.<\/p>\n

But: Storgic love doesn’t scale: You can’t share your body-heat \u2013 or any genuine compassion \u2013 with distant strangers. Family is right here<\/em> \u2013 or it’s nowhere.<\/p>\n

That’s leadership’s challenge: Every social machine is a family \u2013 almost always a dysfunctional family because storgic love doesn’t scale. When the big-boss tells you, “We like to think of ourselves as a family” \u2013 you know he’s full of shit. And yet social machines that work do so because everyone believes \u2013 typically without direct evidence \u2013 that the big-boss loves them.<\/p>\n

Accordingly: Ds is the best leadership strategy \u2013 period. Best for fathers leading their families, best for entrepreneurs leading their staff, best for political or religious or social leaders of any sort.<\/p>\n

Leadership is love. We are in the mess we are in because Ci is a terrible leadership strategy, but we won’t be out of it until Ds takes back control of everything.<\/p>\n
