Humans make mistakes. Many of us lose career ascendency or risk destroying our institutions by doubling down on or ignoring outcomes of our own poor decisions.
Good leaders learn and teach from their errors. Professions are strengthened. Institutions thrive. Careers grow.
Through real-life stories that focus on senior/board leadership from multiple walks of life, and brief discussions of significant attributes, readers will be challenged to diagnose and turn missteps into positive growth experiences.
The authors of this book have had extensive careers in public and private, for-profit and not-for-profit settings, and in independent and government-sponsored consulting, development, academic, and clinical environments. Without having any single leadership paradigm to push, they raise questions about outcomes for institutions that are affected and individual career paths.
Their cautionary tales ask readers to think through "next steps" or prevent the need to get there; hence, this is an ideal extra-assignment book in graduate management courses and for managers seeking to work their way up toward higher leadership roles. Board members also can learn from its non-industry-specific target readership.

"It is highly refreshing to read a book on leadership about cautionary tales. The twenty vignettes gathered over many years of the authors' management and consulting experience, combined with the seven leadership attributes to avoid such failures, have important lessons for anyone who wants to shine as a leader."
Shantha Mohan, Mentor, Carnegie Mellon Integrated Innovation Institute; Author of the Leadership Lessons with the Beatles: Tips and Tools for Becoming Better at Leading
"Far too often, we share stories around the proverbial fire of what worked in our leadership journeys. But what lessons are missed when we can't linger with the times where our grand ambitions failed to come to fruition? In this book, the authors do a masterful job walking through their own leadership journeys at the point of failure, using those moments to cast a light for all of us in our own work."

"Having spent 30+ years in the government in senior level positions retiring as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and 12+ years in the private sector, this book on Leadership Failures is a must read to avoid the frequent mistakes all of us have made or witnessed in our careers. The book format creates an easy to visualize roadmap to facilitate self-reflection. I was most impressed with the inspiring quotes, vignettes about failures and attributes for success to help you move forward."
Robert F. Lentz
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and CEO Cyber Security Strategies
"Brilliant. Simply brilliant. If you are tired of sports coaches touting leadership principles of generals, generals touting leadership principles of corporate CEOs and corporate CEOs using sports metaphors and touting the great leadership of coaches, you need to read a book that is truly helpful, not hackneyed. Leadership Failures is that book. Failure is a far better teacher than fortuitous success -- the lessons learned from failure are seared into our minds. Told with humor, pathos, and rock-solid analysis, Leadership Failures is the best guide I know of to lead you to leadership success."
Joseph L. Shaefer. Brigadier General, USAF, Retired
"While we learn much from our successes, it tends to be our failures that create the strongest motivators to change. This is an exceptional collection of life lessons written by a group of true professionals. The lessons that the authors have drawn from their work and shared in such an insightful manner are invaluable!"
Doug Lawson, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer of St. Luke's Health and Senior Vice President of Operations, Texas Division, CommonSpirit Health
"The book arrived yesterday. I spent much of the evening browsing and diving in it. Oh how I wish I had had the book when I was President of the University of Toledo - I made so many mistakes that could have been avoided!!"
