Power doesn’t corrupt overnight. It seduces slowly — through applause, validation, and the quiet addiction of being needed.
Leadership Risk is not another leadership manual. It’s a psychological dissection of why good people become dangerous leaders, how success blinds those it once inspired, and why organizations keep promoting charisma over character.
Business psychologist Dr. Debri van Wyk exposes the unseen mechanics of ego drift — the subtle way power disconnects leaders from truth, empathy, and self-awareness. Drawing from years of corporate and executive experience, he unpacks how boardrooms breed darkness, how culture absorbs pathology, and how followers enable the very leaders who destroy them.
This book dares to ask the questions most leadership books avoid:
-
Why do we worship confidence while ignoring competence?
-
Why do insecure leaders climb the fastest?
-
And what happens to a culture when truth starts reporting to ego?
Equal parts psychological analysis and moral reckoning, Leadership Risk holds up a mirror to every executive, manager, and follower brave enough to look. It’s not about blaming the dark — it’s about understanding why we built it.
