The Taboos of Leadership by Anthony F Smith

The Taboos of Leadership by Anthony F Smith

Most leaders who make it to the top possess characteristics that are all too human: they have politically incorrect attitudes, are conflicted, and play politics to get their way. Written by leading management consultant Anthony F. Smith, The Taboos of Leadership reveals the rarely discussed realities of leadership-the secrets that leaders just cannot admit to publicly for fear of losing power, self-respect, or even their jobs. This revelatory book will help both leaders and followers achieve real understanding and co-create a two-way street culture of openness, trust, and improved performance in their organizations. The Taboos of Leadership discloses ten guarded secrets that leaders can't discuss, even with their closest constituents, including: charisma shouldn't make a difference ...but it does; women make better leaders ...when that's what they really want to do; blatant self-interest is dangerous ...in followers, not leaders; thou shalt not play favorites with friends and family ...except when it makes a lot of sense; and more.

.. a useful call for leadership advocates to balance their natural optimism with realism. (Harvard Business Review, May 29, 2007)
