Leaders Behaving Badly

Why some people enable them and how others courageously stand up to them

In this chaotic world of fake news, alternative facts and a daily diet of threatening tweets, ordinary people are facing a serious crisis of trust in their leaders. Who is telling us the truth, who is dealing in ‘spin’ and political game playing?

In this book the author tackles the challenging issues of leadership and followership in a world of ‘crazy’, where all moral and ethical leadership seems to be a distant memory. She asks:

• Why do we elect totally unsuitable leaders?


• Why do people encourage and enable their appalling behaviour?


• Is democracy obsolete?


• Are we teetering backwards into a world of dictatorships?

The world seems to have slept through all the warning signs. Fortunately, courageous souls everywhere are waking up and challenging the bullies who would destroy decency. A new generation is standing up and saying ‘enough’, and many countries are deciding that people, the environment and future generations are more important than profits.
