AND I think that what’s interesting abt both Giorno and Mista’s way of leading is that they both directly tie to the lessons they took from Bruno imo
Giorno’s mission to overthrow Passione and take it under his control was encouraged by Bruno, who brought him into the criminal underworld and who he looked to as both an equal and an example, he viewed Bruno as moral and admirable and clearly was pretty attached to him given how hard he fought to try and keep Bruno alive.
It’s not crazy to think that he would’ve seen Bruno’s style of leadership as being something worthy of emulating, regardless of if he does a perfect job of it or not
Meanwhile Mista was introduced to Bruno through a very warm and personal act of being saved from jail time and treated to a feast, he clearly admires Bruno and would give up his own life in a heartbeat to save Bruno, I think while he OBVS is very privy to Bruno’s cold, detached side, he feels more connected to that warmer side of Bruno who’s willing to go out of his way to save others, and I think that’s the side of Bruno he chooses to try and emulate when he takes on the title of Capo. And this is also 100% part of why Mista and Giorno don’t get along in my AU, they’re warm vs cold, involved vs detached, they fundamentally disagree with each other on several methods of leadership but neither of them really want to get into it so instead they kind of let that confusion and resentment fester
