What a great essay. I loved the comparison of the two styles of leadership. I think the best leaders have some element of both of these archetypes in them. I came of age as a Naval officer, and the greatest leaders I admired were all rebels, who were both really tough standard holders and also loyal as all hell. You captured that beautiful, and I didn't know Lysander.
Very cool to hear about some personal experience. Writing and narrating these biographies, I crave that kind of perspective people of military background have!
