The article critiques the 'Great Man' theory of history, which posits that a few extraordinary individuals shape events through their inherent traits. This theory is particularly prevalent in the tech sector, where founders and investors are often glorified. The author argues that effective collaboration and support roles are essential for success, disputing the notion that great leaders are inherently endowed with their skills. Professional development and teamwork are key, as innovation stems from collective efforts rather than solitary brilliance.
The Great Man theory oversimplifies history by attributing its course to a few selected leaders, undermining the contributions of teamwork and collaboration.
The belief that only extraordinary individuals are capable of enacting significant change overlooks the reality that businesses rely on many to function effectively.
