If you want to look at business leadership look at eve-online.
More than one player heads an alliance of a thousand+ players spread across multiple sub groups. Each sub group has different focuses and different internal structures.
If the alliance holds sovereignty in any territory there is a huge amount of work involved in keeping it. A complicated logistics chain is needed to keep Player owned Structures fueled and operational. When you add combat operations and command to that pile, its becomes a nightmare with a huge amount of burnout. It usually takes a strong personality to keep corps within the alliance from outright fighting.
Even a small industrial corp needs products from mining, research, salvaging, and moon harvesting. These can be acquired in corp, or bought at one of the major trade hubs. Its not uncommon to see corps negotiate supply contracts with other corps. Then you have to find a market to sell your products, then you have to transport them.
