This white paper explores how organizations can overcome the "achievement trap" and build a pipeline of leaders who balance personal drive with a focus on enterprise success. It highlights:

• The  Challenge: Achievement-driven leaders often excel individually but struggle to scale their impact at the organizational level.

• Key Traits for Enterprise Leaders: Leaders with socialized power foster collaboration, build capacity, and drive long-term growth through strategic influence and emotional resilience.

• Actionable Strategies: Redefine leadership criteria, integrate growth factors (e.g., curiosity, emotional maturity), and provide development opportunities that cultivate altruism, collaboration, and systemic thinking.
