In “Games at work” we pointed out that senior leaders – and CEO’s in particular - are vulnerable to game playing due to two factors:
(a) the anxiety they feel resulting from great accountability and great privilege. Games can be seen by the games-player as a way of reducing anxiety in the short run (only).
(b) They may possess ego’s that veer towards narcissism, hubris, and paranoia when under stress.
