Bill Treasurer, author of acclaimed books including Right Risk, Leaders Open Doors, and A Leadership Kick In The Ass, knows that leadership moves the world. Be it small venues or big, when leadership is active, prevalent, and shared, results happen. We have seen leaders make profound and enduring positive changes at the personal and organizational level. But, with more and more frequency, we have also seen leaders do breathtakingly stupid, self-serving, and unethical things. We’re sure you have seen these things too.
We are excited to announce Bill is currently at work on his new book, The Leadership Killers: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance. Co-written with retired U.S. Navy SEAL Captain John Havlik, The Leadership Killers is an exploration of the forces that quietly cause leaders to compromise their integrity, misuse their power, and subvert their own effectiveness.
The most lethal force is hubris. Unless you manage your ego, your leadership will be seriously flawed.
Now, we want real-world stories–like yours!–to share with readers around the globe.
Think about a time when your ego or hubris (excessive pride or self-confidence) got you into trouble at work, in an organization, or in a collaboration/partnership.
- How did ego get in the way?
- What happened when your pride or excessive self-confidence took over?
- What steps did you take to modify hubris or let go of your ego?
- What consequences, positive outcomes and lessons arose from this event?
