Flint, Michigan's water crisis, the New Jersey "Bridgegate"
scandal, Enron: all these incidents are examples of various forms
of leadership failure. More specifically, each represents marked
failures among leaders with legal training. When we look closer at
one profession from which we often draw our political, business,
and organizational leaders—the legal profession—we find a deep
chasm between what law schools teach and what the world expects.
Legal education ignores leadership, sending the next generation of
legally-minded leaders into a dynamic world dangerously unprepared.
Dangerous Leaders exposes the risks and results of leaving lawyers
unprepared to lead. It provides law schools, law students, and the
legal profession with the leadership tools and models to build a
better foundation of leadership acumen. Anthony C. Thompson draws
from his twenty years of experience in global executive education
for Fortune 100 companies and his experience as a law professor to
chart a path forward for better leadership instruction within the
legal academy. Using vivid, real-life case studies, Thompson
explores catastrophic political, business, and legal failures that
have occurred precisely because of a lapse in leadership from those
with legal training. He maintains that these practices are chronic
leadership failures that could have been avoided. In examining
these patterns of failures, it becomes apparent that legal
education has fundamentally misread its task. Thompson proposes a
fundamental rethinking of legal education, based upon
intersectional leadership, to prepare lawyers to assume the types
of roles that our increasingly fast-paced world requires.
Intersectional leadership challenges lawyer leaders to see the
world through a different lens and expects a form of inclusion and
respect for other perspectives and experiences that will prove
critical to maneuvering in a complex environment. Dangerous Leaders
imparts invaluable tools and lessons to best equip current and
future generations of legal leaders.
