In a cheeky twist on Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People', Jacqueline Moore and Steven Sonsino have catalogued 'The Seven Failings of Really Useless Leaders' in a new book published on 15 May 2007. Moore, a business journalist, and Sonsino, a business school professor, offer practical help for managers who want to inspire their people to higher levels of performance, productivity and profitability. 'Stop trying to inspire your people,' they say. 'Just stop demotivating them.'
