Narcissistic Leaders Kill The Bottom Line

Narcissistic leaders in many instances are very good at setting a clear vision and get buy-in with their charisma. But they also tend to overrate their performance (poor self-awareness), dominate decision making, need significant recognition, much less caring, and are more likely to operate outside the norm (i.e. behave unethically).

Because of their low self-awareness, they believe they are great leaders, but they are rated at the bottom for leadership and management effectiveness by their teams.

Narcissistic leaders are typically very poor accepting feedback and therefore are unwilling to change.

While they may perform very well, it comes at a great cost and eventually it hinders the business in significant ways.

You can’t change a narcissist. They have to be willing to and that’s extremely rare. You’ll need to remove yourself from the toxic situation or you will find yourself changed in negative ways.

Leaders Help Others to Thrive

Your job as a leader is to create the conditions for teams to thrive.

Three key steps to do this.

First, you need to remove the barriers and roadblocks that hold them back.

Second, you need to create the foundational layer to maximize communication, collaboration, problem-solving and productivity.

Third, you have to model and reward/recognize the behaviors you want them to exhibit.
