You’ve seen it before.The meetings that go nowhere.
The accountability that never quite happens.
The high performers who leave while dysfunction survives.At what point do we stop calling it dysfunction…
and start calling it design?
This book examines how organizations systematically normalize poor leadership, suppress accountability, and reward ineffective behavior — often while maintaining the appearance of professionalism and control.
About the Book
How to Destroy an Organization Without Really Trying examines how dysfunction becomes embedded inside organizations through incentives, leadership behaviors, structural adaptation, and institutional self-preservation.Rather than focusing on individual failures alone, the book explores the systems, cultures, and decision-making patterns that allow ineffective behavior to survive — and sometimes thrive — inside modern institutions.
Ideal for leaders, HR professionals, managers, consultants, students, and professionals trying to better understand how organizations function beneath the surface.
