Publisher's summary

The idea of leadership failure and derailment has been brushed under the carpet for far too long, and only now are statistics appearing on the sheer numbers who fail. Backstabbers and Bullies provides the latest psychiatric and clinical perspectives on dark-side behavior, including: recognizing and coping with overconfident, narcissistic, and psychopathic leaders; causes of leadership derailment and failure; corrupt corporate cultures; and the criminal personality.

Fascinating listening for anyone who has worked alongside a corporate psychopath, business narcissist, or histrionic show-off, Backstabbers and Bullies goes beyond the science to explain how to better understand, manage, and prevent dark-side behavior and presents advice for reducing derailment potential for yourself, your colleagues, and your organization.

Would not recommend

To academic and boring. Very disappointed. References many numbers that do not make sense. Also focuses on how to improve Psychopaths own behavior. Psychopaths do not feel there is anything wrong with their behavior which is why they are psychopaths. I downloaded the book because I wanted to understand how to deal with my psychopathic leadership.
