The recent proliferation of populist movements worldwide - along
with the often dangerous, demagogic leaders that accompany them -
have prompted questions about the underlying conditions that give
rise to such troubling developments. Leadership Unhinged: Essays on
the Ugly, the Bad and the Weird examines what is going on at a
deeper level, both collectively and individually, between leaders
and followers. Employing theories derived from psychoanalytic
psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary
psychology, these essays help to unravel and expose the
pathological leader-follower dynamics that generate such movements.
The book is infused with Kets de Vries's now famous and inimitable
style of analysis, which draws from myths, creates fairy tales, and
uses irony and metaphor to bring his conclusions into greater
relief and trigger new insights. As Kets de Vries explains,
effective leaders have the capacity to bring people together and
even make them better, stronger. Doing so suggests that those
leaders are value driven, able to set a moral tone. Yet, when such
a tone is absent or, at worst, twisted toward the destructive,
leadership quickly becomes dangerous. History has shown the
devastation left in the wake of unhinged leaders who have gone
unchecked. To become fully conscious of the conditions that allow
for the emergence of such leaders has become a moral requirement of
our time. In ways both moving and entertaining, Kets de Vries's new
contribution puts us in a better position to fulfil that
requirement.
