Good Leader Bad Leader: The difference and why it matters
Good Leader/Bad Leader isn't your typical leadership book-and that's precisely the point.
Blending wit, moral clarity, and a healthy dose of scepticism, this insightful and ironic guide explores what it means to be good in a world that often confuses "desirable" with "right." From everyday ethical dilemmas to the complexities of leading others with integrity, this book invites readers on a journey through the messy moral middle ground where most of us live.
Drawing from personal learning journeys, philosophical reflections, and practical leadership experience, the authors unpack the difference between good and bad, leadership and control, desire and discipline. Whether it's deciding when to speak up, learning how to listen well, or finding humour in the hypocrisy of modern corporate life, the lessons here are grounded, innovative, and unapologetically human.
You'll explore:
Why ethical leadership is more than a buzzword
How to practice non-violent communication and decision-making under pressure
The difference between humility and self-promotion in leadership
What it means to lead when no one's watching-and no one will thank you
The role of philosophy, satire, and personal accountability in everyday choices
With chapters like "Dysfunctional Bunnies", "The Inner Game of Leadership", and "Repay Evil with Good (Even When It's Hard)", this is a book for real people trying to do good, not just look good.
Perfect for readers who appreciate moral philosophy with a sense of humour, practical leadership advice, or modern reflections on ethics and power, Good Leader/Bad Leader is a must-read for anyone who's ever asked themselves:
"Am I doing the right thing-or just the easy one?"
