HIGHER

Society often equates wealth with leadership, but @catra emphasizes that money is just a tool, not a leadership trait. True leaders offer vision, integrity, and accountability, while investors bring capital. Leaders bear risk and share costs with their group, unlike investors who can withdraw. Money may amplify influence, but it’s leadership that inspires connection and trust. It's crucial to look beyond capital and ensure those we follow align with our values and vision.

Self-reflection on money and leadership inspired by Killing Joke’s 'Money Is Not Our God'.

what prompted you to write this catra? this is beautifully written

Thank you nishu

Had a chat with my wife this morning about money and power. Funny how people worship the wealthy just for being wealthy.

Made me realize wealth doesn’t equal influence or leadership.
