Look around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men.
In 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? Marshaling 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.
When 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. There 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.

Inte så provocerande som titeln kan få en att tro. En bra genomgång av de ledaregenskaper som skapar resultat i sina team och organisationer. Vilka fel och det finns som gör att vi kan välja fel ledare, till exempel en väldigt karismatisk men dominant personlighet som inte har förmågan att kunna stötta andra. Även andra tankefällor, till exempel att de flesta riktigt bra ledare är väldigt osynliga eftersom de varken är speciellt kontroversiella eller högljudda, och därför inte tar speciellt mycket plats i media. Klart underhållande och läsvärd! En bok som både män och kvinnor har nytta av att läsa.

Bra titel som utmanar. Något som många, många stereotypiska alfahanar borde få sig till livs, vilket dessvärre aldrig kommer ske. Kanske viktigare, alla vi som väljer, upphöjer, bländas av och kurerar traditionella värderingar och stereotyper för att sedan med en knuten näve i byxan förbannar dåligt ledarskap. Kanske läser vi böcker som dessa, kanske kan vi ta till oss och ändra hur vi väljer och upphöjer. Då kanske förändring mot ett bättre ledskap kan hända.
