The idea of leadership failure and derailment has been brushed under the
carpet for far too long, and only now are statistics appearing on the
sheer numbers who fail. Backstabbers and Bullies provides the latest
psychiatric and clinical perspectives on dark-side behavior, including:
recognizing and coping with overconfident, narcissistic, and
psychopathic leaders; causes of leadership derailment and failure;
corrupt corporate cultures; and the criminal personality.
Fascinating listening for anyone who has worked alongside a corporate
psychopath, business narcissist, or histrionic show-off, Backstabbers
and Bullies goes beyond the science to explain how to better
understand, manage, and prevent dark-side behavior and presents advice
for reducing derailment potential for yourself, your colleagues, and
your organization.
