Can I suggest there is a difference between feedback and therapy We are all human, we have biases and blindspots. Your trusted lieutenants can come to you and tell you you forgot to do X and because doing X is something either within your personality comfort zone or just outside it, you can if reasonably adjusted take that on. But there will be things you are not reasonably adjusted for, things that require you to make significant adjustments to your world view and personality - things that you need to make serious compromises on Some people are so maladjusted they cannot compromise on stuff most of the world agrees on - generally we call them criminals. But this is a spectrum - bad managers usually have very poor matching between their personal problems and the needs of the role. But even good managers reach a point that their instincts and their rational mind cannot take them past. In short “everyone is promoted to their level of incompetence” is not a skills problem, but a character problem.
