Believing Your Own Bullsh!t: The Emperor’s New Clothes - a podcast by Your CEO Mentor

Episode 143 // Some companies have turned the concept of believing your own bullsh!t into an art form! It’s really easy to convince ourselves that we are achieving amazing things when, in actual fact, very little is changing.

The Emperor’s New Clothes, the classic fairytale from Hans Christian Andersen, is a wonderful metaphor for this. Leaders often pretend that they’re in control, that they have all the answers. They even convince themselves that they’re excellent leaders, whom people love to follow. But the reality can be starkly different.

This episode explores the psychological factors that push us to believe our own bullsh!t, and I give some tips to stop you from falling into this trap as your leadership career develops and flourishes!
