According to Sam Gilpin, Managing Director, Head of Europe at YSC, there are a few reasons why a CEO can change from a confident leader to one with narrowed acceptance of truths around them. Many CEOs are under tremendous pressure, with ultimate responsibility for the success and failure of the business resting with them. In turbulent, pressure-filled times, it’s human nature to look inwards, accept their own sense of reality and plough on to see themselves through to the other side unscathed.
Sam Gilpin contributes a piece for HRZone on why every leader needs a good support structure around them to check their behaviors and prevent them from creating a culture where they can’t be questioned.
