If only the CEO at my old company was this self aware. I don't think he even once owned up to screwing up. I ended up leaving the company due to irreconcilable differences. In our last meeting, I tried talking to him about how I thought there were problems on both sides of the table (specifically in regards to communications skills), I was quite happy to admit that I had problems and had fucked up from time to time, but he absolutely refused to admit that he had done anything wrong.

This is 9/10 CEOs I’ve dealt with, sadly.

  Maybe people in power or executive positions are. It probably was a factor in how they got there.
