My research on the origin of the title of CEO led to a chance meeting with the CEO of the Maasai tribe in Kenya, Africa. Our discussions led to my introduction to our most ancient civilizations’ organizational leadership structure known as the leadership trilogy. The leadership trilogy holds the optimal organizational leadership structure is comprised of three leaders, not one, a Wiseman, Great Hunter or Lion Killer, and a Tribal Leader and that the innate ability profiles for each are mutually exclusive. It turns out in the early 1970s, we brought back this structure; only we changed the titles to Chairman, CEO, and President. Most missed this subtle but profound change, except for Bill Gates and Larry Ellison who have used versions of it to create two of the largest personal fortunes in the world.
