The temperament and leadership styles of passionate leaders can facilitate outstanding success or predispose to catastrophic failures. The performance of leaders and the profitability of their organizations is diminished when their judgment, strategic vision, timing and communication patterns are undermined by crises and personal issues. As business, NGO, creative leaders and independent contributors falter, the impact of their issues reverberates throughout the organization, often affecting customers and external constituencies as well.
