Why Leaders Don't Learn from Success - Harvard Business Review
The annals of business history are full of tales of companies that once dominated their industries but fell into decline. The usual reasons offered—staying too close to existing customers, a myopic focus on short-term financial performance, and an inability to adapt business models to disruptive innovation—don’t fully explain how the leaders who had steered these firms to greatness lost their touch.
In this article we argue that success can breed failure by hindering learning at both the individual and the organizational level. We all know that learning from failure is one of the most important capacities for people and companies to develop. Yet surprisingly, learning from success can present even greater challenges. To illuminate those challenges—and identify approaches for overcoming them—we will draw from our research and from the work of other scholars in the field of behavioral decision making, and focus on three interrelated impediments to learning.
The first is the inclination to make what psychologists call fundamental attribution errors. When we succeed, we’re likely to conclude that our talents and our current model or strategy are the reasons. We also give short shrift to the part that environmental factors and random events may have played.
The second impediment is overconfidence bias: Success increases our self-assurance. Faith in ourselves is a good thing, of course, but too much of it can make us believe we don’t need to change anything.

Οι Ευρωπαίοι είναι οι καλύτεροι μάνατζερ στις πολυεθνικές
Ωστόσο, τους λόγους για τους οποίους η Ευρώπη «εκτρέφει» τους μεγάλους παγκόσμιους μάνατζερ, τους έχει τεκμηριώσει ο κ. Karl Moore, καθηγητής Μάνατζμεντ στο Πανεπιστήμιο McGill, και associate fellow στο Templeton College του Oxford University με έκθεσή του ύστερα από πολυετή πολυπολιτισμική μελέτη και συνεργασία του με πολυεθνικές στη Βόρειο Αμερική, στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ενωση και στην Ιαπωνία. Η έκθεση αναφέρει ότι οι μεγάλοι διεθνείς μάνατζερ δεν προέρχονται από τις ΗΠΑ είτε από άλλες χώρες, οικονομικές υπερδυνάμεις.
