{"product_id":"book-ebv4","title":"Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?","description":"\u003cb\u003eLook around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people—especially competent women—to advance? Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen competent women—and men who don't fit the stereotype—are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences. The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom. There is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.","brand":"Ascent Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49368338006320,"sku":"BDebv4","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49368338071856,"sku":"ZEebv4","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49368338104624,"sku":"ZMebv4","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ebv4-cover.jpg?v=1762975424","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ebv4","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
