Are men with big bones and a large head better leaders?

Question

Do you ever notice that men who are in positions of power are usually big boned. They also have a larger than normal head size (physically). I am not talking about a line backer on a NFL football team, but more like the Quarterback.

A man with a smaller head, thin build, small bones and less bulk is more likely to not be taken seriously and will less likely move into a positon of authority. *Bill Gates is a rare exception)

What do you think of my theory of men with big bones and head having more authority and leadership potential?

Answer 1

President Bush (USA), Former Prime Minister Tony Blair (UK) and President Putin (Russia) are all strong leaders of strong countries who were not afraid to face any enemy and beat them.  None of these leaders would be regarded as big boned or with big heads.

Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander the Great were small men and yet are regarded by many as the great leaders of their time.

When these qualities are matched to former and present great leaders it does seem to support that men with big heads and big bones are great leaders.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it.  I find that men or woman are taken more seriously when they are educated and act professionally.  People who give respect command respect.  In my life I haven't found any evidence to back up your theory.

I do however find that big boned men with big heads make better bouncers :)

Answer 3

i think it depends on the attitude.... You can have strong leaders with a small strcuture and small heads... but big bones, large head are more impressive and at first can bring more respect to others... but i think this is not the case for every leader... if you look back on history you can see that small , skinny guys have ruled countries, armys, etc...

How about    Adolph Hitler, Napoleon Bonapart, Ghengis  Khan, Kubla Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar?  Small men---all
