How do we pick our leaders? And are those who make it to the top the best for the job?
These are the two central questions that Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, an organisational psychologist, seeks to answer in his new book Why do so many incompetent men become leaders? Despite the provocative title, Chamorro-Premuzic is more concerned with leadership than bashing men and the book might be more accurately titled “Why we value the wrong things in our leaders”.
