agree  Dan Schioenning Larsen: Jeg har netop oversat et spørgeskema, hvor denne term indgik. Det omhandlede også ledertyper/ledelsesmetoder. Jeg brugte afsporinger/afsporingsmuligheder. Dvs. at lederen bevæger sig i forkert retning, og derved bringer sin autoritet i fare.

  -> Tak for det, Dan!
neutral  NetLynx: Strengt taget tror jeg, at der er tale om 'en, der afsporer', 'en,der ikke kan holde sig til sagen', 'en, der forplumrer debatten'. Men hvad hedder det med ét ord?

agree  Mihaela Nissen (X): med dig od Dan.En rigtig god bog er Why Successful People Derail and How to Get Back on Track (1 ED) by Lois Frankel Ph.D. The Center for Creative Leadership compared its Benchmarks data with the EQi and found the primary factors in career derailment .

Explanation:
Mit forslag til en oversættelse.

Linket er til anmeldelser af "Why CEOs Fail" af David L. Dotlich and Peter C. Cairo. Her forklares det, hvad en derailer, og der er en liste over de mest almindelige blindgyder:

- Arrogance — you think that you're right, and everyone else is wrong.
- Melodrama — you need to be the center of attention.
- Volatility — you're subject to mood swings.
- Excessive Caution — you're afraid to make decisions.
- Habitual Distrust — you focus on the negatives.
- Aloofness — you're disengaged and disconnected.
- Mischievousness — you believe that rules are made to be broken.
- Eccentricity — you try to be different just for the sake of it.
- Passive Resistance — what you say is not what you really believe.
- Perfectionism — you get the little things right and the big things wrong.
- Eagerness to Please — you try to win the popularity contest.

bagstræver, bagstræverisk


Explanation:
Det virker umiddelbart som et fænomen, der for nogle år siden i et amerikansk magasin kaldtes for 'brakemanship'. Og det blev dengang til bagstræveri på dansk. Passer det ikke ind i sammenhængen?

disagree  NetLynx: Det tror jeg ikke. Under alle omstændigheder hedder det 'bagstræber, bagstræberisk'. Tilføjelse: Nudansk - og min bare!
