Self-assured, charismatic and brazen, highly narcissistic CEOs can undermine strategic decision-making.
Narcissistic people think they know best; they have a tendency to be assertive and excessively confident about their intelligence and judgment. Noted for their charisma, they can rise rapidly through the corporate ranks and tend to be noticed and often favoured by company directors to turn troubled companies around. Once considered a personality flaw, narcissism is now seen as a fundamental personality dimension present (to varying degrees) in all of us and one of the most influential traits when it comes to processing information and making decisions.
