What happens when leaders stay in power for too long? Join me, Nico Van de Venne, as we unravel the profound impacts of prolonged leadership in both politics and the business world. Taking inspiration from a compelling LinkedIn post by Geert de Grande on Bart de Wever’s extended political tenure in Belgium, we venture into the often-overlooked consequences of long-term authority. From "founderitis" to "CEO disease," discover how continuous power can lead to hubris syndrome, affecting decision-making and organizational health. You'll learn how unchecked confidence can morph into recklessness and how this dynamic can ripple through entire companies.
In this episode of the Everlasting Fulfillment Podcast, we dive deep into a study from Kellogg, Northern, revealing how leaders who are constantly hyped up may become dangerously self-oriented. We discuss the pitfalls of prolonged leadership, such as micromanagement, overconfidence, and resistance to change, which can result in burnout or depression for leaders and their teams. Emphasizing responsible leadership, I advocate valuing the expertise and opinions of team members to foster a more inclusive and collaborative environment. Tune in to uncover strategies to balance power and responsibility, ensuring a healthier and more productive workplace.
