A friend of mine shared a very good link, that is, 9 behaviours of a narcissistic leader. It is a good reminder NOT only for leaders, but to everyone.
The 9 behaviours below are leadership strengths, however, don’t let them get overwhelmed.
- Confident – Self-centered, talk mainly about their agenda, discount others
- Decisive – Opinionated–sometimes wrong but never in doubt
- Initiating – Too aggressive to get what they want
- Outgoing – Need to be the center of attention
- Accurate – React strongly to constructive feedback
- Take charge – Controlling, believing that they are smarter, superior
- Strategic – Manipulative of others to get what they want
- Logical and Objective – Insensitive to the feelings and needs of others
- Visionary – Blame others when something goes wrong
