What Got You Here Won`t Get You There

The book explains bad leadership habits and suggests 7 steps to change. In theoretically I agree every word but it is difficult to apply in practically. For changing firstly we should accept our bad habits, our position but how a leader who has these habits can understand his/her position, mistakes and accept change.

I choose some bad habits from book and if a leader has some of them, how we can talk about change? According to my experience, I met some one and I've worked with him for a year. He has below habits and he neve

r accept his mistakes. He doesn't know what the wrong thing is and in that case it is impossible to change anything that you don't know.
