Why Do Successful People Still Need to Change?
Success can mask counterproductive habits and create a false license to think “Why change if it’s working?” The gap isn’t skill or drive, but rather a blindness to how small behaviors erode goodwill and effectiveness.
Metaphor
Success is like driving with your high beams on—you feel in control, but everyone else on the road is squinting and swerving. The shared trait is that achievement can make you blind to how your actions land, even while you think you’re lighting the way.
That’s why even high performers must adjust their habits to sustain trust and effectiveness.
