are given the opportunity to shoulder responsibility for others, often they are averse to it.

And when we scan their brains and then we can see where people are more likely to be averse to shouldering responsibility for others, we can then actually then correlate that to real world

tests of their leadership.

So for example, there was a great study done in Switzerland and they were able to scan people's brains and they looked to see where they had reached in the military ranks within the Swiss military.

And so for all those reasons, there will always be leaders and there will always be followers.

And

What we often want is a specific individual leader that we will follow and that's one of the reasons why monarchy in particular has been one of the most historically successful and pervasive forms of leadership structure that we've had in human societies.

I'll just say, this doesn't have to be based on evolution.

So my studies scan people's brains, and you could say those brains have evolved, or you could say those brains were designed intelligently, or wherever you want to go.

So it's not centered on evolution, just to be clear.

So I think that what people always want is a leader, right?

There will always be a leader and that leadership.

So where does human leadership come?

There will always be leaders and there will always be followers.

So where does human leadership come from?

And there are really two main sources of power in human leadership.

So the first thing is the sort of maybe more animalistic side, which is dominance, right?

All this could be to do with the fact that you have power through guns or whatever it would be, but there's dominance.

So dominance can often give you power and that can be contributed to you having a leadership position within society, a status and other people will follow you.

But then in humans, because we are really remarkable animals and we teach each other and we learn and we're extremely clever animals, extremely social animals.
