Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people--especially competent women--to advance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen competent women--and men who don't fit the stereotype--are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences. The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633696324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633696327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Business Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019","brand":"Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051218497791,"sku":"9781633696327","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25db3815-abed-4bca-b954-158a1ebad6f0.jpg?v=1685011787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-do-so-many-incompetent-tomas-chamorro-premuzic-9781633696327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
