Do narcissists innovate better?
What happens when the boldness of narcissism meets the self-awareness of humility—in the same leader? Can those two opposing traits actually fuel innovation?
📖 In this episode of The Leadership Laboratory, we break down the groundbreaking study by Zhang et al. (2017):
"CEO humility, narcissism and firm innovation: A paradox perspective on CEO traits" published in The Leadership Quarterly.
This deep dive covers:
🔍 How 63 Chinese CEOs and their executive teams were evaluated for humility, narcissism, and socialized charisma
🧠 The surprising role of paradox theory, dialectical thinking, and East Asian philosophy in leadership behavior
📊 The data-backed interaction effects between humility × narcissism and their impact on innovation culture and firm performance
🏅 Real-world examples of paradox leaders like Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, and Jocko Willink
🏗️ Practical takeaways for hiring, developing, and evaluating leadership potential in your organization

If you’re building yourself as a leader—or selecting the next one in your organization—this is a must-watch.
