People like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai etc... are not physically intimidating at all. Even if you look at hedge fund managers, a lot of them aren't physically imposing at all. Even looking at world leaders like hitler, stalin, putin, Churchill all of them are short or average height. Modern power isn't about physicality, one person cannot take down even 2 people at once, rather modern notions of power is about control through the exertion of will.
