I have the clarity of vision and commitment to avoid the conformity trap, but I am not sure that I posses the level of disagreeableness of the leaders that you cite. I am not the nicest guy, but probably nicer than them. I am left wondering if I will challenge my team in the same manner.
It's a tough balance to get right. You want to raise the execution bar for sure, but always in a way that gets the most from the team rather than just being gratuitously tough on people. I wish I could say I've mastered it myself!
