Silicon Valley parents are now paying $50,000 to genetically screen embryos for IQ. But here's what really caught my attention: A tech founder dismissing "mom and pop America" because they'd rather their kids be like LeBron James than Harvard scholars. The arrogance is breathtaking. These are the same people who built the very foundation these tech elites are standing on. Yet somehow they're viewed as "less enlightened" for valuing character, resilience, and work ethic over genetic algorithms. When success breeds the delusion that you're genetically superior, you've lost touch with what makes great leaders. Real leadership isn't about having the highest IQ in the room. It's about character, humility, and the ability to develop others. Read my full thoughts on this dangerous trend and why we're optimizing for all the wrong things. #AuthenticLeadership #SiliconValleyArrogance #CharacterMatters #LeadWithPurpose
