Even
if you're a successful leader, you never want to get to the point where you
start to buy your own nonsense.
In
his chronicle of the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar concludes that: "in
most cases men willingly believe what they wish" when describing a
tactical mistake on the part of his Gallic enemies.

best leaders behave rationally and don't allow their feelings or preconceived
notions to dominate their decision-making. Gut calls and instincts are
important too, but the best leaders utilize both — not one or the other.
