If any of the following behaviors sound like you or someone you
work with, beware! In Why CEOs Fail, David L. Dotlich and
Peter C. Cairo describe the most common characteristics of derailed
top executives and how you can avoid them:
* Arrogance–you think that you’re right, and
everyone else is wrong.
* Melodrama–you need to be the center of
attention.
* Volatility–you’re subject to mood swings.
* Excessive Caution–you’re afraid to make
decisions.
* Habitual Distrust–you focus on the negatives.
* Aloofness –you’re disengaged and
disconnected.
* Mischievousness–you believe that rules are made to be
broken.
* Eccentricity–you try to be different just for the
sake of it.
* Passive Resistance–what you say is not what you
really believe.
* Perfectionism–you get the little things right and
the big things wrong.
* Eagerness to Please–you try to win the popularity
contest.
