Description: "The business world abounds with alphas - powerhouses who take charge, produce astonishing results, and bring enormous value to their organizations. But many alphas also unwittingly leave a path of destruction in their wake. Often highly competitive, belligerent, and impatient, these hard-charging leaders can sometimes run roughshod over colleagues and employees, to the detriment of their careers and their company's bottom line." "In Alpha Male Syndrome, Kate Ludemena and Eddie Erlandson build on their Harvard Business Review article "Coaching the Alpha Male." Their book provides an in-depth look at what makes alphas tick and how to better manage alpha behaviour whether it's your own or that of someone you work with or for."--Jacket.
