When Success Destroys Leaders

Your biggest win is actually the most likely thing to destroy your entire life.

It’s called the Bathsheba Syndrome, and it proves that success ruins more leaders than stress

ever could. We always assume CEOs and politicians crash because they’re bad people or under

pressure, but the research says the opposite. They fail because they’re winning.

When you hit the top, you get complacent. You get access to money and secrets

nobody else has, and your ego starts telling you that you can control outcomes.

You stop leading the troops and start indulging yourself. You don't make unethical choices because

you're weak; you make them because success convinces you that you’re untouchable.
