The End of Leadership
(Harper Business, 2012)

Becoming a leader has become a mantra. The explosive growth of the “leadership industry" is based on the belief that leading is a path to power and money, a medium for achievement, and a mechanism for creating change. But there are other, parallel, truths: that leaders of every stripe are in disrepute; that the tireless and often superficial teaching of leadership has brought us no closer to nirvana; and that followers nearly everywhere have become, on the one hand, disappointed and disillusioned and, on the other, entitled and emboldened. The End of Leadership takes on this unsettling situation . . .
