“He’s Never Wrong, He’s Always Right” 0
Psychologist Gustavo Razzetti takes a look at why persons, particularly persons in leadership positions, can’t admit that they are wrong (not that we’ve seen any examples of that in our public discourse in recent years). Here’s an excerpt:
This delusion gets amplified if you hold a powerful position.
Organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich coined the phrase “CEO’s Disease” to refer to this condition. It’s the result of low external self-awareness. As you work your way up the corporate ladder, you’ll start to receive less candid feedback. Your colleagues become afraid to disagree with you and start filtering what they say.
I commend the piece to your attention. It sheds a light on dis coarse discourse.
