A Brief View on Hierarchy
Hierarchy celebrates the power and glory of men, while also honouring the fundamental truth that men are not created equal.
Aristotle is right when he tells us , ‘give me a child until he is 7, and I will show you the man.’ Children are born with innate characteristics which are honed and developed as he matures. Central to these characteristics are leadership and followship, the core fundamentals to the concept of hierarchy. Neither is right nor wrong, merely an inalienable truth. In the context of hierarchy we call these different men and boys, Alpha and beta.
Expectations of Others
Modern society, and the expectations of others has had the effect of rendering unpopular, and indeed controversial the acknowledgement that Alphas and betas exist as distinct members of a hierarchy. Each, alike have a valuable contribution to make to the world. Their contributions are different, the lives are different, their struggles are different, but they exist together. Neither role is more valuable than the other, in fact it is useful to consider them as two sides of the same coin. A leader can only lead if he has his followers, similarly, a follower can only truly achieve if he is led. An Alpha can only be his true self when a beta surrenders to his control.
Deep Truth
To acknowledge the hierarchy of men, is to acknowledge the truth deep within each of us. This truth transcends age, race, social class, but is fundamental to who we each are. Our truth is created at our birth and shaped by our expereiriences and the expectations placed upon us. Some may struggle with their identity, but few really doubt it’s truth.
To believe in the hierarchy and find fulfilment, is to look deep within and find your truth. Acknowledging that truth, and learning to embrace it can be a difficult journey. Few truly understand the power of living authentically. Executive Sir exists to support your journey of self discovery and help you see the beauty within each role within the hierarchy.
