Bad Leadership: What It Is, How It Happens, Why It Matters
Barbara Kellerman
Bad leadership is as ubiquitous as it is insidious - and so must be more carefully examined and better understood. Drawing on contemporary examples - from Mary Meeker to David Koresh, Bill Clinton to Radovan Karadzic - this book explores seven primary types of bad leadership and dissects why and how leaders cross the line from good to bad.
