How to Be a Better Leader review

A $17.99 leadership ebook credited to a doctor of leadership who cannot be checked.

Pass

Leadership books are one of the most crowded shelves there is, and this listing gives no reason to choose it: no author you can look up, no framework named and no sample. The co-author is credited with a PhD in Leadership, which does exist as a field, but no institution or career is given, and she is the fifth co-author surnamed Andrews in this batch. Established leadership titles by named authors cost the same or less.

Qualities, trust, conflict

The listing covers the standard leadership topics.

No framework is named.

A real field, unverifiable

Doctorates in leadership exist, but nothing identifies this one.

Her surname is shared by four other co-authors.

A real field, but no one to check

The listing credits Dr. Beverly Andrews with a PhD in Leadership and 32 years of experience. The field exists, but the listing names no university, publication, licence or profile, so the credential cannot be checked.

On the seller's other titles the same author section invents doctorates such as Focus Psychology or Workout Psychology, and in this batch alone five co-authors share the surname Andrews and four the surname Donald. That makes the whole section read as a template.

The rest of the numbers are decoration

Claims 356000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.

The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
