MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVES The April 2008 issue of Management Perspectives, our quarterly publication, is currently on-line. Politics and religion, we are told, are topics we should avoid when talking with people we don’t know all that well. They have the ability to create uncomfortable moments and interpersonal strain. Want a topic where people have lots to say and talk freely? Ask them about the worst leader they have worked with or observed. You’ll open the flood gates. In this article, Stephen Baetz profiles the characteristics of awful leaders. He does this, not because he doesn’t know what else to talk about (as many of you know, he has lots of things he wants to say) but because he thinks it is possible for us to learn from them. Stephen is a principal of LIVE Consultants Inc., the organization which sponsors this publication.
