"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 magazineNamed

business books everyone will be reading in 2019" -- Business
InsiderAdvance 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."Barbara Kellerman,
James MacGregor Burns Lecturer in Public Leadership, Harvard
Kennedy School--
"As the title--Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become
Leaders?--suggests, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic has written a
lively and provocative book. For anyone with an interest in
leadership, and in gender differences as they might particularly
pertain, the issues he raises and the conclusions he reaches will
provide good grist for their collective mill."
