This paper examines the book, "Five
Temptations Of A CEO: A
Leadership Fable", by Patrick Lencioni, about a young CEO who,
while attending his first annual board review, feels that he is failing but does not know how to cope with the situation. It looks at how the author uses his talent to bring to us the complexities involved in the role of a leader and also the problems that occur with teamwork. It analyzes how the book focuses on the
leadership qualities essential for any leader/CEO to acquire, as well as the five
temptations that are usually responsible for the fall of any leader.
