If you want to know your past, look into your present conditions. If you want to know your future, look into your present actions.

Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, in their book Primal Leadership, refer to “CEO disease” as “the information vacuum around a leader created when people withhold important (and sometimes unpleasant) information”.

Therefore, it is important that leaders in any organisation must be self-aware and ever ready to face criticism. There can be no development without the understanding that learning and growing never stops.
