Aimed at multiplying the potential for success, respected executive coaches and authors, Kate Ludeman, PhD, and Eddie Erlandson, MD, offer Alpha Male Syndrome—an illustrative and groundbreaking guide for fine-tuning leadership skills in the world of business.

Written by popular demand following their compelling Harvard Business Review article titled Coaching the Alpha Male, Alpha Male Syndrome details the inner workings of the alpha male or alpha female—those leaders we live and deal with throughout the organizational world.

The world abounds with alpha males and alpha females—powerhouses who take charge, produce astonishing results, and bring enormous value to their organizations. But many alpha executives also unwittingly leave a path of destruction in their wake.

Using extensive research, and offering exercises, tips, and self-assessments, Kate Ludeman and Eddie Erlandson show alpha executives—and the people who work with them—how to leverage their unique strengths while curbing their destructive flip-side risks.
