Leaders-political, corporate, religious-are making mistakes that are far more open to public scrutiny now more than ever before. Challenged by conditions of growing uncertainty and the need to work at lightning speed, errors are not only unavoidable, but also rampant in today's workplace. Based on research and candid interviews with some well-known leaders whose costly blunders have made headlines, this book examines eight common mistakes, debunks myths surrounding mistake recovery, and identifies eight strategies for "rebounding" from near-fatal errors. Using examples from Enron to the Catholic church to Arthur Anderson, the authors provide a how-to for those at the top who suddenly find themselves on the way down.

Reviews for Breaking the Code of Silence
I believe Kusy and Essex are doing a great service in discussing the issues surrounding leadership mistakes. This is a practical and must-read handbook for anyone who believes they might make a big mistake.
John Dasburg, former CEO of Burger King; current Chairman, CEO, co-owner of ASTAR Air Cargo 7 Critical Mistakes shatters the myth that mistakes are something leaders should conceal. Positioned in the context of specific rebound strategies, critical leadership errors can be key resume builders as Kusy and Essex affirm in 7 concrete ways. It's a sure-fire book for coaching others in the fine art of using mistakes to build one's own leadership capacity.
Gregg Steinhafel, President, Target Stores Breaking the Code of Silence adds a new and practical dimension to our leadership language and philosophy. The rebounding strategies that Drs. Kusy and Essex identify give leaders at every level needed skills in leveraging our mistakes into powerful tools for building new confidence and success. Bravo!
