ORIGINAL: artofthekneel Jeez, i certainly didn't mean to have this thread go in that direction. But I can see how the financial implication could be read into the post. Let me rephrase. The personality traits necessary to rise to the top of the corporate world seem so out of sync with submission. I wondered if people with this kind of dichotomous personality were relatively common or relatively rare. I know that it's simplistic to assume someone, like a CEO, is an alpha male 100% of the time just because that's how he or she must approach the professional environment (and I don't mean to imply that all CEOs are testosterone-laden alphas either). It interests me how people can reconcile these seemingly disparate facets of their personalities. Perhaps we should speak to characteristics versus disparate sides of a personality---( that to Me is like Sybil when you use that phrase)--we are all throughout the day Dominant and submissive--- A CEO must acquiesce to the direction of his/her board, stockholders, laws--in that instance, he is submissive--in the pure sense-- One may be skilled at leading and manuevering the rapids of business, yet prefer in intimate relations to acquiesce the lead role, for that is where the greatest joy is found. In all life situations, we face moments to lead and moments to follow. I see it as a part of a persons make-up not different personalities or different facets. Selecting the best potition to bring the best joy.
