Summary

In today's episode: Research reveals a surprising reason narcissistic CEOs are more likely to pursue acquisitions. Why there is a gendered assumption baked into how most people picture a narcissist. The word that gets thrown around so loosely in business circles that it's become a lazy substitute for actually understanding someone. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to dig into research on narcissistic CEOs and push back on how quickly the label gets applied to successful leaders.
