The process of going from bad to worse tends to be steady, as opposed to hasty. But once bad burrows in, it digs in. It digs in deeper and then deeper, making it difficult finally to extract or excise without getting rid of whoever and whatever is involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work draws on four cases of bad leadership--two in political leadership, two in business leadership--to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases--each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding--their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. \u003cem\u003eLeadership from Bad to Worse\u003c\/em\u003e is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Kellerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197759270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197759271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024 pg. 80","brand":"Barbara Kellerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761175818495,"sku":"9780197759271","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cfa7c84-4a57-437b-b75b-0f6d6c8e6e82.jpg?v=1706680589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leadership-from-bad-to-worse-barbara-kellerman-9780197759271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
