Sydney Finkelstein, the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College on Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives.
Habit #1: They see themselves and their companies as dominating their environment.
Habit #2: They identify so completely with the company that there is no clear boundary between their personal interests and their corporation’s interests
Habit #3: They think they have all the answers
Habit #4: They ruthlessly eliminate anyone who isn’t completely behind them
Habit #5: They are consummate spokespersons, obsessed with the company image
Habit #6: They underestimate obstacles
Habit #7: They stubbornly rely on what worked for them in the past
I believe these habits can be found in many executives. But they should be a warning to anyone in any leadership capacity - whether in a small local shop or sitting on a church board. More detail on each can be found Forbes.
