For a leader to make rational decisions, he must analyze his thoughts and obtain feedback from others. Many CEOs are afraid to express their thoughts and ideas for fear of being challenged. Lively discussions where people challenge each other without insulting others are beneficial for good decision-making. The last temptation mentioned by Lencioni is to choose invulnerability rather than confidence. For a CEO and his employees to have a healthy relationship, there must be mutual trust. A CEO must first trust his employees, even if it seems like they are likely to be beaten. Employees will repay their trust by showing respect and honesty. A healthy, honest relationship between the CEO and employees encourages communication and feedback. I would have no problem succumbing to this temptation because I believe that everyone deserves trust in the beginning until proven otherwise. Reading this book has given me great knowledge and understanding of the very demanding job of being a CEO. Lencioni states that “the reason a CEO fails is not only because he fell victim to temptation, but also because he refused to let others know of his failure.” The ability to accept failure when you are wrong separates those who succeed and those who fail. “The Five Temptations of a CEO” is a must-read for any budding business
