Think of a person you regard as a leader.

How far away in your mental picture do they appear?

Change the picture to make them recede further into the distance. Do you feel any differently towards them now?

Make them further and further away. How do your feelings change about them as a leader? Is there a threshold point where they do not seem to be a leader any more?

Put them back as they were and now bring them closer to you. How does that change your feelings about them? Is there a threshold where they are too close and it feels uncomfortable?

Put them back at a comfortable distance. Now notice how high the leader stands relative to you. Make them higher than you. Do your feelings change? What is it like as you make them higher and higher above you?

Now move them below you. How does your feeling about them change? Do you still think of them as a leader? Is there a threshold where they do not seem to be a leader any more?

Try these exercises with a number of different leaders. Does the height and distance vary depending on who you think of?
