In leadership research there is a long tradition of focusing
attention on the great and successful leaders and, more recently,
on issues of good governance. This study breaks new ground by
looking systematically into the manifestations and causes of poor
leadership and bad governance in some of the world's most powerful
democracies. Focusing on the presidents and prime ministers of the
G8 - the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan - it explores the complex
relationship between weak and ineffective leadership, undemocratic
leadership techniques, and bad policies from a broad comparative
perspective. What makes leaders weak or bad in different contexts?
What are the consequences of their actions and behavior? And has
there been any learning from negative experience? These questions
are at the center of this fascinating joint inquiry that involves a
team of truly distinguished leadership scholars. This book will
prove invaluable for scholars and students of leadership, political
science, contemporary history, and related academic disciplines.
Readers with a general interest in public affairs and political
history will also find plenty to interest them. Contributors: J.
