Why Ceos Fail: The 11 Behaviors That Can Derail Your Climb to the Top--And How to Manage Them Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition
by David L. Dotlich; Peter C. Cairo
The author names and illustrates the 11 sins of business leaders with real stories taken from behind their closed-door practice. Cogent, straight and crisply written, these short chapters offer insight and inspiration for all leaders who may struggle with their dark side.
Summary
If any of the following behaviors sound like you or someone you work with, beware! In Why CEOs Fail, David L. Dotlich and Peter C. Cairo describe the most common characteristics of derailed top executives and how you can avoid them: Arrogance--you think that you're right, and everyone else is wrong. Melodrama--you need to be the center of attention. Volatility--you're subject to mood swings. Excessive Caution--you're afraid to make decisions. Habitual Distrust--you focus on the negatives. Aloofness --you're disengaged and disconnected. Mischievousness--you believe that rules are made to be broken. Eccentricity--you try to be different just for the sake of it. Passive Resistance--what you say is not what you really believe. Perfectionism--you get the little things right...
First line
If Othello were CEO of Enron and Oedipus Rex in charge of WorldCom, they might well have made the same mistakes as Jeff Skilling and Bernie Ebbers.
