At this critical junction in the history of humankind, leaders that
are proficient in magical thinking aren't going to solve our
problems. Creating alternative realities is not the answer. We need
a very different kind of leadership-leaders who can resist the
calls of regression and whose outlook is firmly based in reality.
We need leaders who analyze and draw conclusions from, or use their
own experiences as a development tool, face their strengths and
weaknesses, and critique their own experiences in order to build
new understandings. In this very personal and entertaining book,
Manfred Kets de Vries, one of the "gurus" in the field of
leadership studies offers his thoughts on leadership and life,
reflections written for executives and the people who deal with
them. As a psychoanalyst and leadership professor let loose in the
world of renowned global organizations-as a passionate educator and
scholar, or just a human being at the receiving end of
heart-rending emails-he examines the pitfalls of leadership and the
challenges for the professionals who work with senior executives in
today's AI-focused world. He points out why leaders can derail, and
what steps they can take to prevent this from happening.
Ultimately, this book encourages you to "Know yourself," but makes
no bones about the challenge it represents. Understanding our
"inner theatre" will always be an uphill struggle. Kets de Vries
points out why deep dives into our inner world are always fraught
with many anxieties. Included in the many subjects covered by the
author are the loneliness of command, the management of
disappointment, the destructive role of greed, the impact of
stubbornness, the role of storytelling, the importance of wellness,
and the role of corporate culture. In addition, the book addresses
the important topic of how to create great teams and best places to
work. Furthermore, the book touches on endings- the ending of our
career and the growing realization of the inevitable ending of our
life. As time grows short, Kets de Vries emphasizes that we have no
time to lose in dealing with our anxieties, regrets, and the things
we spend much of our life determined not to see. Taking a deep dive
into self-knowledge requires courage and support, and he is here to
guide you through it.
