@dymaxion @Wolven I mean, a basic problem is the various power games that tend to conflate leadership roles and seniority with status, power and resources.
You can be a very crucial and useful coworker for a project without necessary being a "leader" in the project.
The whole exercise is just pretending that different dimensions and contextuals with at best minimal correlation are one scalar value that can be meaningfully decontextualized and measured.
