John, I enjoyed this analogy. What stood out to me is that gravity only works when there is a stable center. People aren't drawn to leaders because of personality alone, they're drawn to consistency, values, and a sense of purpose they can rely on. When leaders become a predictable source of meaning, trust deepens, influence extends beyond their presence, and people carry that influence into their own decisions. That's when leadership shifts from managing people to shaping how they understand the work and their place within it.
