1/6. Inspired by the attached slide from @adamcifu on why doctors overestimate their skills, I have generalised the list to why CEOs/Directors/leaders probably suffer the same bias. Each item seemed like a note to myself (except the high compensation
)

2/6. We systematically assume that decisions we took, but whose outcomes we donât yet know, were good.
3/6. Our feedback overwhelmingly comes from those who have chosen to stay in our circle.
4/6. The power differential between us and others prevents people from telling us what they really think
5/6. We spend more and more time with those who know less and less about what is happening on the ground
6/6. The institution is self-organising and self-healing. It often gets better despite us as opposed to because of us.
