Failures in Leadership: Notable cases from 2020

Episode #123 // There was a lot to celebrate in 2020, despite the difficulties we all faced. And whereas much of the world was focused on leading through the pandemic, it still didn’t stop the run-of-the-mill failures that come from deceptive, negligent, and self-interested leadership.

As a subscriber to the Australian Financial Review (our daily Wall St Journal equivalent), I just love their end-of-year wraps. The one I focus on in this episode is what the AFR considers to be the best examples of corporate failures in 2020.

I deconstruct some of the cases mentioned in the article, then cap it off with my own prize for the most breathtaking leadership accountability failure that I witnessed last year.
