Lessons on Leadership by Terror: Finding Shaka Zulu in the Attic (New Horizons in Leadership Studies)

What makes despotic leaders tick? How do they become cruel? On a lesser scale why do some people engage in ruthlessly abrasive behaviour in the workplace? The behaviour of such people raises the question of power. This book reveals what happens to human beings when they acquire power and whether the abuse of power is inevitable.Manfred F. R.
