Why do the Big Men Become Smaller?

04 Kasım 2009 Çarşamba


The article “Why leaders fail?” by Mark Sanborn sets out from leadership failures of the recent past in such social areas of endeavor as business, politics, religion and sports, and relates certain “warning signs” of impeding failure. Sanborn builds his article on the practice of psychotherapist Ken Maupin on “high-performance personalities in business, religion, and sports; and lists the “warning signs” of leadership failures as follows: “A Shift in Focus”, “Poor Communication”, “Risk Aversion”, “Ethics Slip”, “Poor Self Management” and “Lost Love”. “The warning signs in life -- from stoplights to prescription labels -- are there for our good. They protect us from disaster” says Sanborn, and calls leaders for considering the six warning signs of leadership failure and for taking an honest look at themselves. Sanborn tells the good news that those who pay attention to these signs can sustain the kind of leadership that is healthy and fulfilling for. Donald Trump, a businessman of achievements today, files for bankruptcy. Richard Nixon, 37th President of the States, resigns the presidency over the Watergate scandal. Tennis star Jennifer Capriati enters a rehabilitation center for drug addicts.”
