How Bad Leaders Get Worse over Time

There's plenty of advice on how to grow into a better leader. And
it takes effort to become more effective. But bad leadership gets
worse almost effortlessly, says Barbara Kellerman, a Center for
Public Leadership Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School. She shares real
examples from the public and private sectors of how bad leaders
spiral downward, and how bad followership enables that negative
trend. She gives her advice for recognizing and avoiding
ineffective and unethical leaders. Kellerman is the author of the
new book Leadership from Bad to Worse: What Happens When Bad
Festers.
