In his new book, The Curse of Being Special, author Jane Doe argues that one of the greatest dangers to leadership is the belief that one is special. This hubris, she argues, can lead to a host of problems, including:

• A lack of self-awareness
• An inability to listen to criticism
• A tendency to make impulsive decisions
• A disregard for the consequences of one's actions

Doe draws on a wide range of examples to illustrate her point, from the rise and fall of Winston Churchill to the election of Donald Trump. She shows how hubris can lead to disastrous consequences, both for individuals and for nations.

But Doe also offers a way out of this curse. She argues that humility is the antidote to hubris. Humility allows leaders to see themselves more clearly, to listen to criticism, and to make more thoughtful decisions. It also allows them to connect with their followers on a deeper level.

The Curse of Being Special is a timely and important book. It offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of hubris and the importance of humility in leadership. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a more effective leader.
