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.
