A badass doesn’t respect positional authority.  How do you pull that off?

True authority is earned, and is service-based.  A positional leader is one who has the title, but neither leads nor serves

Disrespecting authority is not ‘the way’ - rather, do not blindly follow those with a title

Beware the motives of those who crave power for its own sake

Instead, lead respectfully from where you are.  Let your vision and service guide your work
