Overview

Destructive leadership is a neglected area of research. It's a bit like saying that marriages never end in divorce, even though reality tells a different story. For decades, research has focused on the best paths to effective leadership. For a long time, it was widely ignored that leadership is often inadequate. In Norway, destructive leaders are often called psychopaths and narcissists. Machiavelli has become almost synonymous with cynical and manipulative leaders. These concepts are introduced in this book, along with chapters on the manipulative leader, the destructive employee, and three central characters in Shakespeare's plays. There are two chapters on President Donald J. Trump and former President Barack H. Obama, as well as a chapter comparing the two leaders. The book features cases of leaders who lack strong leadership qualities. The book is written for a broad audience. It also has academic perspectives, cases and questions that also should interest lecturers at business schools and other management programs.
