Description by the Authors
Don't try to inspire your people. That's pointless. Just stop the Seven Things you're doing that demotivate people utterly. You'll soon become a better Leader.
Unlike other leadership books, «The Seven Failings of Really Useless Leaders» does NOT concentrate on good or great leadership. Or even on getting from good to great. You see, we don't want you to copy all those so-called inspirational executives out there. We know that copying other people blindly just doesn't work.
There's an even better reason why we don't want you to concentrate on what other executives do brilliantly. And the reason is this: we learn far more and far more quickly from our mistakes than from the things we do well. That's just human nature.
So in this book we'll share with you exactly where people still foul up in leading others. Things that destroy bottom-line value. Now don't misunderstand us - we can't reveal the specific information from our coaching, teaching and consulting work - that would be unethical. But what we can do is this: we can summarise for you the seven key things that seem to occur time and time again - things people do that have a direct impact on the bottom line. And we've called these the Seven Failings of Really Useless Leaders.
Jacqueline Moore and Steven Sonsino.

From the Publisher
Don't ask «What do I have to do to become an inspirational leader?». That's the wrong question. It's better to ask instead «What do I have to stop doing?».
With a simple message and an innovative twist on traditional leadership books, Jacqueline Moore and Steven Sonsino offer practical help for managers who want to inspire their people to higher levels of performance, productivity and profitability: «Stop trying to inspire your people», they say. «Just stop demotivating them.».
