From “The Conversation.com” piece, “The appeal of narcissistic leaders is also their downfall“. It left me thinking about those I have trusted, why I have trusted them, which have disappointed me and how quickly. (why is that Tony Blair is the first person to come to mind I wonder?). “From the sports field to theContinue reading “Narcissistic leaders – who do you know who fits the bill?”
