An elegant, scholarly and absolutely timely analysis of the kinds of dangerous people who want to be leaders, but never should be allowed to be. Read it, weep with despair for the state of international politics, and some big business-and understand it better. -- Guy Claxton This book offers numerous provocative ideas about what we can do to deal with hubristic leadership. I can't recommend it highly enough. -- Dennis Tourish Sadler-Smith provides an incisive and thorough analysis of hubristic leadership making this book ideal as a primary or secondary text for courses focusing on the fundamentals of leadership. -- Peter G. Northouse An essential source covering a wide range of approaches from organisational to biological. Hubristic Leadership fills an important gap in the literature. -- Nick Bouras
