About this ebook
They look at politicians, CEOs, managers, and institutions and wonder why obvious problems remain unsolved. If only they had the authority, they think, things would be different.
This book challenges that assumption.
You Would Be a Terrible Leader explores the hidden realities of power, influence, incentives, loyalty, corruption, organizational behavior, and human nature. Drawing from psychology, political science, business leadership, and real-world examples, it reveals why leadership is far more complicated than it appears from the outside.
This is not a book about becoming more powerful.
It is a book about understanding power.
And understanding why even intelligent, ethical, and well-intentioned people often struggle once they reach positions of authority.
