Synopsis
Inside access to what the world's top organizations look (and ask) for when assessing, grooming, and stealing away top talent. Most people don't understand what it takes to get ahead. They don't understand what leadership means or how their organizations make leadership decisions., Silver Medal Winner, Business and Leadership, 2012 Nautilus Book Awards Almost 70% of Americans believe that we are suffering from a crisis of leadership, but rather than asking, why are leaders failing, we need to ask, Why aren't we choosing better leaders? Ever wonder what goes on behind closed board room doors when organizations pick their top leaders? It can be a contentious, secretive, even brutal process. Most of our leaders look good on paper--they have charisma, credentials, and confidence--yet they lack the real qualities that are necessary to succeed. In Why Are We Bad at Picking Good Leaders? , Cohn and Moran share the same insights and ideas they use to help organizations make better choices. Revealing seven essential attributes of all great leaders, they offer a fresh and powerful evaluation technique anyone can use to assess leader potential. Through dynamic, first-hand accounts from the business world, entertainment, sports, politics, education, and philanthropy, the authors offer the ultimate insider access and reveal how top organizations find and choose the best talent. Offers multiple ways to evaluate leaders, and how these 7 leadership attributes combine to create the best (and worst) in leaders Features interviews with with Mike Krzyzewski, Coach, 2008 US Men's Olympic Basketball team, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon; George Steinbrenner, Scott Davis, CEO of UPS; Peter Loscher, CEO of Siemens; Toby Cosgrove, CEO, Cleveland Clinic; Hollywood movie directors, and many others Includes academic study and field training at institutions such as Harvard, Yale, INSEAD, and IMD for developing future leaders . Fresh and compelling, Why Are We Bad at Picking Good Leaders? shows how great leaders can be spotted and why they succeed - and is soon to the definitive resource guide for about choosing better leaders., Silver Medal Winner, Business and Leadership, 2012 Nautilus Book Awards Almost 70% of Americans believe that we are suffering from a crisis of leadership, but rather than asking, why are leaders failing, we need to ask, "Why aren't we choosing better leaders?"

"As chairman of a global company that has been in the family for 150 years, I make finding the kind of people who can build on our legacy one of my top priorities. Finding the best leaders is very tough. Why Are We Bad at Picking Good Leaders? explains why, and then offers key insight and nuance to help others meet the challenge. Any board member, human resource executive, or hiring manager who wants to solidify the company's leadership ranks should start right here." Facundo L. Bacardi , chairman, Bacardi Ltd. "Inspiring, encouraging, and engaging, this book will help anyone who needs to make a truly important leadership decision. Hiring Mike Krzyzewski to lead our 2008 basketball team to the gold medal was the single most important decision I made as chairman of U.S.A. Basketball. I saw in Coach K all seven of the fundamental leadership attributes that Cohn and Moran vividly describe in this book." Jerry Colangelo , chairman, U.S.A. Basketball Board of Directors "Brilliant. For the last 25 years I've been helping companies develop their rising stars into world-class leaders, and this is one of the most original and complete explanations I've seen for how to get that process started. Cohn and Moran skillfully showcase an assessment approach that is as entertaining as it is insightful. Busy executives don't want to take a test; they want an assessment process that is engaging, interesting, and most of all accurate." Bernie Jaworski , executive vice president, IMD "Cohn and Moran have been assessing and selecting executives for decades, and this book codifies the seven leadership attributes they've found make the difference between failure and success. Why Are We Bad at Picking Good Leaders? is empirically sound, packed with clear and compelling stories, and full of immediately applicable advice on how you can improve the way you select leaders in your organization." Jim Kouzes , coauthor, The Leadership Challenge , and the Dean's Executive Professor of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University "This is a book that will stand the test of time! Too many people turn the topic of leadership into poorly defined concepts and theory. Cohn and Moran take a different tack by boiling leadership down to seven core attributes and explaining each one in a very direct, commonsense way." Joel Kurtzman , author, Common Purpose , and senior fellow, the Milken Institute "Before you start your next selection process, read this book. And read it very, very carefully." Jim Kouzes , coauthor, The Leadership Challenge
