Description: | Select Guide Rating This book points to everyone responsible for Donald Trump's tragic mismanagement of the pandemic. Blame lies not entirely or even largely with the president, but with subordinates willing to do his bidding even as it became apparent his leadership was fatally flawed. The COVID-19 pandemic will forever be remembered as a pivotal event in American history. Written by one of the world''s foremost experts on leadership and followership, this book centers on the first six months of the pandemic and the crises that ran rampant. The chapters focus less on the former president, Donald Trump, than on his followers: on people complicit in his miserable mismanagement of the crisis in public health. Barbara Kellerman provides clear and compelling evidence that Trump was not entirely to blame for everything that went wrong. Many others were responsible including his base, party, administration, inner circle, Republican elites, members of the media, and even medical experts. Far too many surrendered to the president''s demands, despite it being obvious his leadership was fatally flawed. The book testifies to the importance of speaking truth to power, and a willingness to take risks properly to serve the public interest. |
