Fed up with incompetent leaders?
My new book includes antidotes and an interactive section where readers can share their experiences with incompetent leaders.
Let’s stop rewarding performance without substance and start demanding competence.

At academic conferences, I often witness the unthinkable: cappuccino after lunch, or worse, with pasta. My Italian amygdala cries out in horror. It’s not snobbery, it’s neuroscience. But hey, drink what you love, just don’t be surprised if I flinch :-). ☕🍝🧠
