Syndrom „supermana“: Mají manažeři tendenci přeceňovat své schopnosti?

The superman syndrome is a topic that appears increasingly often in managerial practice, yet remains understudied in Czech academic literature. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether managers tend to overestimate their abilities and whether signs of the superman syndrome can be identified among them. The research questions focused on managers' self-assessment, manifestations of the superman syndrome, attitudes toward teamwork, and the influence of sector, length of experience, and team size on managerial style. To obtain relevant data, a mixed research method was chosen, combining semi-structured interviews with eight managers and a questionnaire survey among their forty direct subordinates. The results showed that managers in the studied sample tend to underestimate rather than overestimate their abilities. More pronounced signs of the superman syndrome were identified in three respondents. The thesis provides specific recommendations for managers and their organizations on how to prevent manifestations of the superman syndrome and build an environment based on trust and open communication.
