Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?
(And How to Fix It)
About the book
Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic takes up a puzzle: incompetent men rise easily into leadership, while competent people, especially women, find it hard to advance. He builds his case on decades of research on leadership. Most organizations, he argues, still equate leadership potential with traits such as overconfidence and narcissism, which may help people get selected but backfire once they have the job. The result is a system that rewards arrogance over humility and loudness over wisdom. He argues that new systems and processes can help put the right people in charge.

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.
