Harmful Advice for Leaders

«Harmful Advice for Leaders» by Ivan Dobrovolsky is not a dreary collection of «best practices» for businessmen nor a boring textbook on management.

This is a book where you will find stories that you can easily identify with: sometimes funny, sometimes painful—stories from the lives of real entrepreneurs and the author himself.

In each «harmful advice,» there is an artistic sketch, a real business story, and its analysis. The author honestly shows both sides of the coin: when the advice may work and when it may lead to failure, what its advantages are, what its disadvantages are, and what conclusions the leader really should draw to avoid making the same mistakes.

Particular attention is given to explaining the «irrational» behavior of leaders—Ivan Dobrovolsky relies not only on his own experience but also on modern scientific research to delve deeper into the reasons behind actions and decisions.

Here you will learn about the traps of leadership, how easy it is to get trapped in the grip of one's own ego or to create an atmosphere around oneself where no one dares to speak the truth. This book will help you learn to recognize your mistakes in time, before they become fatal. Read the «harmful advice» in any order, analyze situations, and find your points of growth.
