Uh....your "self" is not unique? I hope you don't think I'm being petty by asking that. It's a common fallacy in thinking to believe being something you aren't is how you be unique. You are unique, so being yourself is genuine. That is a good place to start if one presumes to lead people. People don't like to invest time and effort into those who aren't sincere.
Of course, we know that!
Create a corp. from people who want to do what you want to do...yet, you're unique? Sorry. The contradiction should be apparent. How about creating a corporation which facilitates others being like themselves? Who knows what the mix will wind up being? Who knows what that tapestry will be like? You have to make it to know.
I've been a CEO in EVE for humma humma (9) humma humma (years). I've been the head of a Battlefield 2 competitive clan for six years (TWL CAL). I've headed up a kinship in LOTRO for nine years, as well. And, in real life, my main career time was spent managing administrative functions for large organizations; secretaries, file cabinets, correspondence, documentation management and the like. And, as you might well guess, the job is pretty much the same.
That's the thing about management, what you do doesn't vary much, even though who you're managing does all sorts of wild and fabulous things. You ensure it's possible for them to do what they do, be it fly multi-engine aircraft, manufacture disco lighting, or buy and sell real estate. So...when you decide to be a CEO, to a large degree you've decided to not fully participate in the whatever it is those you're managing are doing. That's the hit you take for the team.
Here's some light reading for you:
So now you're a CEO in EVE (you poor fool.)
EVE Corporate Management Guide
Start a corp. Be the CEO, but remember. The only way you're doing this for yourself is if you find doing things for everyone else to the point of not having much time to spend on yourself is what you like to do. If this isn't your cup of tea, join someone else's good corp. Let them worry about it.
