New Research on Causes of Executive Failure

I’ve written before on the topic of executive “derailers”, citing research from the Center for Creative Leadership. In order to be a great leader, I think it’s just as important to understand why leaders fail as it is to understand why they are successful.

Scot’s the author of the book “The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success”, one of my favorite books on executive transition. Scott also writes a pretty nice leadership blog that you should add to your list of regular reads.

Here’s a summary of the research (information on how to order the full report follows):
