    You can't empower another person nor boost their ego really. You can't get that from outside.

    Sadly, you have never been in the presence of a truly inspiring leader.

    If you think about your social circle there is usually some individuals whose lead everyone else are more likely to follow.

    And they tend to grow to expect it.

    The difference between dominant and domineering is just a question of the degree of insistence on compliance. I don't want any of their dominance.

    Adjective vrs present participle.

    No in reality bullying vrs trying to argue you are right or simply accepting others will not agree.

    I have to watch myself on this. I tend to get into lengthy debates I can be goaded.


    This thread is one epic goading session. I try to use humor to diffuse.

    Domineering people feel admitting they are wrong makes them weak. Dominant people don't.

    It's not about brainwashing or who is convinced ...we can all be duped. Dominant people fight for the greater good or try to. Domineering people do it only for themselves and what they want. In fact frequently dominant people are most strong when fighting for the greater good.


    To be dominant you need good character. In reality it's a work in progress because you are always trying to work on that.

    Interesting question. The role of the fool in dominance hierarchy is quite a fascinating one.

    Because I don't agree with you?

    Tell me, what can't I see?

    I don't think you necessarily need a good character to be dominant, but you do need a bad character to be domineering.

    I agree with the second part of that statement whole heartedly. I think that the best dominants have good character. I hope at least I am right. It is something I think of as being part and parcel of real leadership.

    I don't think you see how social dynamics work, there's always some people who have more of an influence on the group than others.

    What post of mine indicates that I am unaware of that?

    Well splendid. The teapot is relevant because we decided together prompted by me to talk about it. We decided to talk about because it was fun not pushed too hard and I would have let it go had you not taken up the ball.

    I am the teapot queen...not really I am a little teapot..

    Anyone want tea and biscuits? Shall I pour??

    Dominance is a group effort! Domineering is more solo! Dominance harnesses positive energy.

    Getting an answer to a question is not a display of dominance. We all ask questions every day and succeed in prompting others to speak on a topic. Persuade me to get rid of my orange teapot in favour of a colour of your choosing and then I'll be impressed.

    Does Orange suit the teapot? Is it ceramic?

    What is your favorite color? Do you actually want to change your teapot?

    Maybe that would not be good for you?

    But then it's just a teapot.

    Why did you choose the name?
