I doubt it has much to do with genetics, and more to do with the natural hierarchy of the world.
Not everyone gets to be a leader, it's a mathematical impossibility. However, it's not some predetermined type of thing. Rather, there are steep entry barriers to functioning in the elite of anything. Thats why they are perceived as superior in some aspect. Some folks lack the intelligence, drive, or whatever to get there, but I don't think you can attribute it to genetics.
Success is really just a shit ton of little things you do that add up to a bigger end result, nothing really that special. But if I explained to you guys the steps I took to build a lawn care business i ran several years back and sold for a good chunk, 99% percent of you would be too lazy to print out and distribute the fliers. That's not genetics.
It has been shown that IQ is in part genetic. If a person does not have sufficient IQ, he cannot lead.
You can't take a 70 IQ person and have him be a CEO, even of a modest-sized lawn care business.
There is more research being done all the time on genetic influence on behavioral outcomes. I'm not saying necessarily that it is ALL genetic, but more than we'd like to think, including our own sense of ourselves.
