Bad leadership: What it is, how it happens, what it matters
Leadership has been analyzed, categorized, and defined by many people over the years. Some feel it is an art, one must be born a leader, and some feel it is a science, leadership can be taught. According to Kellerman, recent trends in current American industry are to treat leadership as a science and she points out that there is a flood of books on the market that propose that the ideas and techniques contained therein will teach the reader or enable the organization to teach their managers and supervisors to be leaders. However, Kellerman?s focus is not only on defining leadership as an art but also in highlighting that that the leadership industry?s current focus on teaching leadership is biased towards teachings that only define leadership and leaders as ?good? and widely disregard examination of ?bad? leaders and bad leadership. To that end, the book explores the case for including bad leadership in the overall definition of leadership by examining the case histories of some of history?s most notorious leaders and balancing them with a look at some of history?s more recent examples of bad leadership. Each leader, leaders who are the main focus of the chapter?s leadership type (incompetent, rigid, intemperate, callous, corrupt, insular, and evil), is given a review along with their followers to build the case for the learning to be sowed from such an analysis of these bad leaders.
