Book excerpt: "Robert Hogan is known for suggesting that the most consequential question in human affairs is, "Who should lead?" History is riddled with examples of how the survival of collectivities - schools, governments, nations, organizations - is determined by who is in charge. Good leaders turn businesses drowning in red ink into industry juggernauts; they transform "B" players into high-performers with minimal infighting and seamless cooperation. Yet history also shows that leadership strengths coincide with deeply troubled dark sides that result in totalitarian regimes, large-scale financial collapses such as the global financial crisis of 2008, exclusive political and economic institutions, ill-conceived military entanglements, and the inability to manage public health during global pandemics,"--

Book excerpt: A provocative departure from conventional thinking, Bad Leadership compels us to see leadership in its entirety Kellerman argues that the dark side of leadership-;from rigidity and callousness to corruption and cruelty-;is not an aberration. Rather bad leadership is as ubiquitous as it is insidious-;and so must be more carefully examined and better understood. Drawing on high-profile contemporary examples-;from Mary Meeker to David Koresh, Bill Clinton to Radovan Karadzic, Al Dunlap to Leona Helmsley-;Kellerman explores seven primary types of bad leadership and dissects why and how leaders cross the line from good to bad. The book also illuminates the critical role of followers, revealing how they collaborate in, and sometimes even cause, bad leadership. Daring and counterintuitive, Bad Leadership makes clear that we need to face the dark side in order to become better leaders and followers ourselves.

Leadership guru Dr. Loretta Malandro has developed a groundbreaking behavior-based methodology that is used around the globe to create top-performing leaders and high-performance organizations. It is based on a simple but profound concept: In order to change your organization, you must be willing to alter your behavior and help others make the choice to change their behavior. This means demanding 100% accountability from your people--and yourself. In today's ultra-competitive business environment, a new leadership approach is needed. Fearless Leadership takes you step by step through the process of raising behavioral standards that directly impact the bottom line. You will learn the secrets behind: Confronting the blind spots that sabotage success Overcoming the success-strangling “need to be right” Eliminating silo mentality and building committed partnerships Ending compliance and gaining full support and alignment Talking straight and confronting difficult situations head on Building a culture of 100% accountability Too many people in leadership positions attempt to enact change through systemic means, such as restructuring or altering processes. The secret to real and lasting change lies in changing behavior--how people work together. Change the level of ownership and performance of people and you will transform your organization. Leaders who are able to act courageously when faced with uncertainty or fear, take bold stands, and engage with people in very real ways are those who generate great and long-lasting results. Fearless Leadership shows you how.

Both the negative and positive aspects of the relationship between leaders and followers are considered. But the relationship between leaders and followers is also influenced by the context in which the relationship occurs. Organizational aspects such as culture and structures are studied in relation to how negative leadership develops. Organizations, just like humans, are able to develop justifications for their actions, to self-aggrandize by claiming their exclusivity. In this book, the dark sides of organizational behaviors and leadership are considered from different aspects and contexts. The book contributes knowledge of how negative leadership develops, what part organizational structures play, and what the consequences are for the leader, the subordinates and the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational compassion provides a multitude of benefits at individual, team and organizational levels. These encompass heightened positive affect, trust, engagement, loyalty, performance, resilience, and recovery. This important book provides an accessible yet scholarly overview of key academic findings and theories on organizational compassion. It equips readers with tools for reflection, awakening and practical application of compassion within the workplace across dyadic, team and organizational contexts. Historically, compassion work has been largely unacknowledged in official organizational discourse. Yet, wherever there are human beings, there will be suffering; where there is human suffering, one can often find human responses infused with kindness and compassion. This observation holds true across industries, professions, and communities. The book explores the complexities of organizational compassion, analyzing the factors that enhance organizational compassion capabilities, as well as those that make compassion falter and fail. The primary aim of this book is to foster the cultivation of organizational compassion by providing a provocative, stimulating and engaging foray into the academic study of organizational compassion for readers, ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate and executive students, as well as reflective practitioners. In a world marked by suffering and challenges, a research-based understanding and fostering of compassion at work, offers a path towards a better future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ABC's of bad leadership are: arrogance, bullying, complacency and corruption. Each of these ABC's of bad leadership are negative values. Leadership is either value positive or value negative. Leadership, like the culture of an organization, is never value neutral. It is the leader who chooses whether to be value positive or value negative. This choice by the leader is the single most important factor which shapes the culture of an organization. It is also why it is important to understand the nature of negative value leadership. Negative value leadership is bad leadership. In the book, Caring Leadership, by this author, it is stated that it is the prevalence of an "I don't care" attitude in the workplace that is the primary cause of organizational performance mediocrity and employee dissatisfaction. Once an "I don't care" attitude takes hold in an organization, it will eventually scuttle an organization's quest for excellence unless a cultural transformation takes place. Organizations are either going forward and making progress, or going backward and losing ground. Organizations of people never stand still. It is the "I don't care" attitude that propels an organization backwards, sometimes imperceptivity, but always certainly. Bad leadership is responsible for ultimately creating a pervasive "I don't care" employee attitude within the workplace. Once an "I don't care" attitude takes root in the workplace, it is extremely contagious. The most detrimental words which can be uttered in the workplace are "I don't care." However, employees do not actually have to speak the words, "I don't care." Rather, the words "I don't care" can be heard just as loudly through employee's actions. Silent "I don't care" attitudes can be just as deadly to the organization. Again, it is the leadership of an organization that is always responsible for the existence of a prevalent lack of caring in the workplace. In Caring Leadership it was explained that creativity in the workplace begins to flow where trust exists in the workplace. Employee trust of organizational leadership is built in caring places to work. Workplace trust and respect for the leadership lead to greater employee commitment, creativity, performance and morale. Caring leadership is the key. Unfortunately, bad leadership undermines trust. Without trust between the leader and the people in the organization, performance excellence is not possible. This author has previously written about the need for organizational change because there are far too many mediocre performing organizations in both the private and public sectors in America. Servant Governing, The Servant Organization and Caring Leadership are companion books to this book. Servant Governing primarily relates to government organizations. The Servant Organization is written for application to for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Caring Leadership compliments the two foregoing books in that it was written from the employee's perspective of how and why caring leadership can transform a mediocre performing organization into an organization of performance excellence through the implementation of The Servant Organization's Four Cornerstone Framework. The above books outline a four-part leadership and management framework which, when implemented, will help improve organizational creativity, vitality and performance. With the framework in place, the organization can shape its own identity. The adoption and implementation of The Servant Organization's Four Cornerstone Framework by caring leaders will help the organization achieve higher performance results. The Servant Organization culture created by the caring leader engenders trust, stimulates creativity, drives mission focus, increases performance, enhances job satisfaction and, in for profit organizations, adds to shareholder value. The ills of bad leadership can be cured by the caring leadership of a servant leader.

Book excerpt: A liberating look at the real reasons organization-wide improvement efforts fail and how, when all attempts have failed, you can help your organization to become great.
