The 7 Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives

Source: Forbes:

If you exhibit several of these traits, now is the time to stamp them out from your repertoire. If your boss or several senior executives at your company exhibit several of these traits, now is the time to start looking for a new job.


Here are the seven habits, as Sydney Finkelstein described in a 2004 article:

  1. They see themselves and their companies as dominating their environment
  2. They identify so completely with the company that there is no clear boundary between their personal interests and their corporation’s interests
  3. They think they have all the answers
  4. They ruthlessly eliminate anyone who isn’t completely behind them
  5. They are consummate spokespersons, obsessed with the company image
  6. They underestimate obstacles
  7. They stubbornly rely on what worked for them in the past
