Incompetent leaders lack the will and/or skill to sustain effective action and do not create positive change. Incompetent leaders are usually supported by incompetent followers - people who ignore or discount warning signs, and let bad leadership linger. One example of incompetent leadership is the former president of the International Olympic Committee, Juan Antonio Samaranch. In his story, you will see how deep an impact incompetence can have, and what happens when no one does anything to stop it. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Bad Leadership: What It Is, How It Happens, Why It Matters'.
