Book Details

Synopsis

"Barbara Kellerman shrewdly dissects the seven deadly sins of leaders who do more harm than good, and then issues a powerful call to followers to refuse to submit to bad leadership. A welcome corrective to romantic tales of heroic leaders, her book will help even good leaders do a better job."

ROSABETH MOSS KANTER. Professor, Harvard Business School, and author, Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End.

"If all Kellerman did was remind us of how often our so-called 'leaders' go astray, it would be a useful lesson. But she does far more. This book shows us the crucial differences between good and bad leadership and lays out specific steps for making sure the leadership we get is the good kind. A superb and Imporatnt book."

MICKEY EDWARDS, former U.S. Congressman and Lecturer of Public and International Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University.
