In this episode of the Reflections on Leadership podcast, Karl Bimshas discusses "The Price of Feeling Special," especially as we head to the voting booth. The desire to feel special can lead people to excuse a leader’s dishonesty, cruelty, and abuse of power when they believe that leader will deliver something for them. The price is surrendering independent judgment and shared principles, and losing accountability when we excuse in our own leaders what we would condemn in others. *** Strengthening Your Leadership Without Becoming a Jerk: https://www.amazon.com/Strengthen-Your-Leadership-Without-Becoming/dp/B09978T1...
