Have you actually read the article? He does give a citation to the same author who initially coined the term alpha wolf.

And redefining alpha to just mean leader is a redefinition, as written in the article the term originates from the alpha wolf who achieved dominance through overtly aggressive behaviour (which does not match with how wolves behave in the wild).

It's ironic that you bring up CEOs etc as proof that there's alphas, when the whole premise of the article is that recent structuring of human society is based on an this wrong view that the aggressive dominance is "natural" and what is required for leaders

I meant link to source. Like point me to the place where he defined it that way. Instead he just made a claim without a citation.

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42848939

These are citations proving my point.
