About the Book

  • Why do the most powerful titans of history and industry fall? The fatal blow rarely comes from an external enemy. It's an arrow shot from within their own fortress -a trap they set for themselves.

    Achilles Trap is a journey into the dark heart of power and the psychology of failure. It argues that success itself-and the ego, isolation, and arrogance it breeds-is the most dangerous vulnerability.

    Author Mark E. Jemy guides you through the war rooms of history and the boardrooms of modern CEOs to expose the timeless, self-inflicted wounds that guarantee ruin.

    This book is a mirror, not a judgment, revealing the traps that lie in wait for every ambitious leader:

    * The Blind Spots of Genius: How being an expert in one area makes you blind to new threats. * The Museum of Success: The trap of clinging to a strategy that worked in the past but is now obsolete. * The Lonely King: How the isolation of power creates a "gilded cage" that separates a leader from reality. * The Silence of the Sycophants: Why an echo chamber of "yes-men" is the most dangerous sound a leader can hear. * The Failure to Pivot: How the "sunk-cost fallacy" keeps leaders chained to a failing project.

    Drawing on a stunning range of case studies-from Napoleon Bonaparte and Julius Caesar to Kodak, Enron, and Travis Kalanick's Uber -Achilles Trap is a practical guide to identifying and escaping the fatal flaws of power.
