Flawless leadership: learning the lessons without paying the price -- Part one: Unbalanced orchestration. Seduced by yes: trying to be all things to all people -- Business you have no business being in: roaming outside the bos -- Entrenched in efficiency: forgetting to put effectiveness first -- Part two: Drama management. The playground in the workplace: leaders who rule by bullying -- When utopia becomes dystopia: problems with dysfunctional harmony -- The battle within: distracted purpose -- Part three: Personality issues. Standing in the way: hoarding power and responsibility -- Living outside the storm: the destructive path of disengagement -- "Does this doorframe make my head look big?": problems with self-absorbed leaders -- A final caveat: walking the line.
Offers advice for becoming a successful leader by learning from the mistakes of others--without paying the price of failure.
