When Leadership Goes Wrong
Birgit Schyns Β· 2010
65/100
π Skip It
This one flips the usual leadership-book script by digging into how leaders go wrong - narcissism, ethical failures, plain mistakes - instead of only celebrating what goes right. It's a genuinely useful angle most leadership shelves skip, pulled together from scholars across several countries. It reads like the academic collection it is, though, so go in ready for a denser, more clinical style than a typical business bestseller.
