“Competitive,” “decisive,” “action-oriented,” even “intimidating”: many people invoke these words to describe good leaders. Indeed, several studies suggest extraverted, dominant individuals are perceived as competent, influential leaders in industry and politics. Think of the late former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos or Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Many people find these leaders appealing and inspiring.
In our first foray into this investigation, we looked at political leadership, specifically comparing democracies and dictatorships. Though some democratic leaders are aggressive and competitive, dictators exhibit extremely dominant behavior. They subjugate others to serve their own best interests. Given our hypothesis that dominance may foster a highly competitive culture, we wondered whether citizens in dictatorships engage in more zero-sum thinking than those in democracies.
Additional questions and analysis allowed us to rule out other factors that could influence these findings. Gender had no effect: dominant men and women in the videos both reduced helpfulness and increased zero-sum thinking among participants. In a follow-up study, we asked people questions to assess how much autonomy they possessed and whether they considered assisting others to be an important part of their work.

Is productivity really the best indicator? How about a culture that hurts ... people.

Highly assertive, confident is not necessarily a dominant leader
Directional management style is important. Assertive upward management approaches + cooperative downward management styles can mitigate power imbalances that would otherwise allow important issues to fall through the cracks.
Dominant leaders need secure checks and balances. All personality types have their weak points and strong points. Balancing your team is key.
