Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Nov 25, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Leadership expert, technologist, and Chief AI Officer Aravind Sakthivel announces the release of his new book, The Leadership Trap: Why Smart Leaders Fall Into 3 Death Spirals and How to Break Free, available worldwide on Amazon in January 2026. Rooted in more than two decades of executive experience and backed by extensive corporate research, the book exposes the invisible traps that cause even the most capable leaders to derail.
Research shows that nearly two-thirds of Fortune 500 CEO failures stem not from market forces but from predictable internal behaviours. Through compelling analysis, case studies, and practical diagnostic tools, The Leadership Trap reveals how those failures follow recognizable patterns Aravind identifies as the 3 Death Spirals.
Leadership failure rarely arrives as a single catastrophe, says Aravind Sakthivel. It builds quietly, through traps that feel rational in the moment. This book exposes those traps and equips leaders with practical frameworks to break free.
