In the book, “The Enemies of Excellence”, the author lists “Seven Enemies
of Excellence”, that can sabotage the success of a leader. Please choose one
of the leader/s from the list below that has had a public or private downfall,
morale failure or breakdown. Focus on the “Seven Enemies of Excellence”
and their nature. Explain how they manifested themselves in the individual’s
leadership and personal life. Some of the seven enemies may not be as
obvious while others will stand out. Please feel free to make observations
and even assumptions (you have poetic license).
Thought Starters:
1. Introduction – provide a background about the individual and the
situation. (Note – don’t spend all your time and energy describing all the
problems).
2. Define each enemy in your own words and the steps the leader took to
sabotage themselves. How did the seven enemies manifest in the leaders life
and in what order?
3. List the negative outcomes and results – who did they effect and how.
4. List one or two possible root causes of the downfall/failure. You may have
to read into the leader’s life.
5. How did the concept of “Centralized Leadership” play a factor in the
failure? How can this person move towards a “De-centralized Leadership”
style?
6. Provide best practices and solutions for this person moving forward.
7. Create a “Systematic Renewal” plan for the leader – include a model
schedule that they should follow – make it practical.
8. Conclusion – provide a strong summary of your thoughts, ideas and
solutions – how could this tragedy have been avoide
