Dr Tom DePaoli is pleased to announce the release of his new business book, Boogeyman Leadership: How to Turn Your Employees into Listless Zombies. Released in May 2019, the book is already receiving rave reviews from readers and reviewers.
Have you endured awful leaders in your career? Dr. Tom DePaoli sure has. In his new book Boogeyman Leadership: How to Turn Your Employees into Listless Zombies, he showcases poor leaders and their tactics that inevitably failed. Dr. Tom believes it is very important to know what does not work first so that an aspiring good leader does not waste time on such approaches. He does not pretend to offer any silver bullet solutions to these poor policies. Boogeyman Leadership recounts many bad leadership ideas and illustrative stories to make sure the reader crosses these schemes off their leadership list. The book is not a solemn academic book or a guide to great leadership success. Its purpose is to give examples of terrible leadership and management tactics that Dr. Tom and others have experienced in their careers. Dr. Tom urges the reader not to use them or support them. Dr. Tom has had careers in business, the military and academia. All these areas had some terrible leaders that he had to endure.
Dr Tom defines boogeyman leadership as the use of poor and intimidating leadership tactics whose purpose is to terrify employees and instill distrust, apathy and fear. The result is a zombie-like listless state. Some of the flawed leadership approaches and stories are similar. He apologizes in advance for this. But this redundancy is even more revealing because very bad leaders often use the same tired strategies even in different organizations. Dr. Tom advises you to be ready for them! Again, he reiterates that it is more important to know what not to do.
Unfortunately, according to Dr Tom, these failed strategies are becoming more, not less common. He notes that there are a lot of really sad stories out there about leadership and management follies. He estimates that 80-90% of his bosses or leaders used some of these dreadful tactics. The book has sarcasm, humor and some hard to believe stories, used by many of the leaders or bosses that Dr. Tom and others have experienced. Dr. Tom suggests the reader re-visualize their own personal leaders, that they have had, who have used the very same or similar defective devices. Dr. Tom sadly notes that these failed leadership ploys are becoming even more common, destructive and hurtful. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Tom does provide a short list of some good leadership principles for the reader that he has learned over his career. He implores you to review and consider using them.
Boogeyman Leadership: How to Turn Your Employees into Listless Zombies is available for purchase in print and e-book formats.

Authentic Leadership Principles

By Dr. Tom DePaoli

Here are the principles of authentic leadership that I have developed over the years. They are discussed in-depth in my new book Leadership by Storytelling on Amazon. Each principle has a story demonstrating it.

Authentic Leadership Principles

1.     Never lie to your followers or your superiors. Keep your word always.

2.     Listen to your followers’ problems and help them.

3.     Don’t believe what you hear from the media or so-called experts. Be skeptical.

4.     Stand up for what you believe in. Do not be silent to idiots or insanity.

5.     Never neglect details. Walk the process. Do it yourself to learn how to do it.

6.     On many things do not ask permission ask for forgiveness. Always try to make things better. Show initiative.

7.     This is not a perfect world, so there are many opportunities to improve. So, improve.

8.     Hire the best people, get people who are better and smarter than you.

9.     Encourage people to always improve their skills. Lead by example here.

10. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation usually dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.

11. Be positive always, but do not sugar coat a crisis.

12. Look for people with integrity and intelligences and who care about and help others.

13. Offer solutions, not problems and try to keep the solutions simple.

14. Go with your gut if you do not have enough data. Avoid data paralysis.

15. Always trust the people in the field, closer to the work or on the shop floor more. 

16. Have fun, work hard and play hard. Do these with your team.

17. Leadership is lonely but accept the blame as it arrives on your desk.

18. Leadership is the art of accomplishing the impossible, so what if no one has ever done it before. Do it.

19. Share your hard lessons learned with others. Do not embellish them.

20. Be humble but be confident.

21. Praise people who do a good job often.

22. Treat people like you would like to be treated.

23. Work hard and volunteer for the tough assignments.

24. Be pleasant, positive and polite.

25. Always do your best even for the tasks that you hate to do.

26. Take an interest in people, not toys, technology or hardware.

I hope that these principles help you become a great leader.

Enjoy the book.
