I ran across this Forbes article a few weeks ago. It’s entitled, “Seven habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives.” Guess who exemplified all of these 7 habits? I guess that’s why he is the fringe case and not the text book example

Habit # 1: They see themselves and their companies as dominating their environment
Warning Sign for #1: A lack of respect

Habit #2: They identify so completely with the company that there is no clear boundary
between their personal interests and their corporation’s interests
Warning Sign for #2: A question of character

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 Warning Sign of #6: Excessive hype

Habit #7: They stubbornly rely on what worked for them in the past
