"Each of this year's best business books on talent and leadership is distinguished by startlingly specific diagnoses and descriptions of the roots of our leadership crisis. In the best among them, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia University, persuasively argues that today's "epidemic of bad leadership" is caused by a surplus of incompetent men whose flaws perversely enable them to rise to the top." -- strategy+business magazine Named a Financial Times Business Book of the Month Named one of "14 business books everyone will be reading in 2019" -- Business Insider Advance Praise for Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (And How to Fix It): Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO, IfWeRanTheWorld-- "The single most important book on leadership of our time. This insightful, innovative, original perspective is an absolute must-read for anyone who wants to identify the best leaders for their business and to be the best leaders they can be themselves--men and women alike. This book is now going to be my go-to gift for everyone I know, in business and in life." Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, bestselling author, Seven Steps to Leading a Gender-Balanced Business-- "This wonderful book illustrates how gender balance is a lever for higher business performance. A delightfully honest manifesto to transform traditional, underperforming, overconfident male standards of leadership into something that actually delivers, inspires, and engages. Brilliant and timely."
