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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTomas Chamorro-Premuzic\u003c\/b\u003e is the Chief Talent Scientist at ManpowerGroup, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, and an associate at Harvard's Entrepreneurial Finance Lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor social media\/website info: drtomascp.com, @drtcp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.4 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 12, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770420068640,"sku":"9781633696327","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ace704d3f7726f80fbf6154b0eded0f2.webp?v=1780371303","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/why-do-so-many-incompetent-men-become-leaders-and-how-to-fix-it-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
