Preferred term

dysfunctional leadership  

Definition

  • A 2003 cartoon in the International Herald Tribune shows two fighting children being pulled apart by their mother. One child points at the other, protesting “She called me a CEO first!” Until recently, when leadership scandals such as those at Tyco, Enron, and WorldCom had begun to reveal leadership's underbelly, American business leadership was viewed as an essentially benign activity, with leaders working for the good of the organization and all of its stakeholders.
