During a period of enforced solitude during the Covid-19 pandemic,
Manfred Kets de Vries became introspective, reflective, and
considered how executives could emerge from unprecedented global
events. The result is a collection of 23 thought-provoking and
focused chapters to help executives take stock and re-evaluate
their path during a time of uncertainty. Beginning with essays on
'Managing Self,' Kets de Vries starts with people's search for
meaning and how we can deal with this important question. Given our
need for meaning, the question of human energy is discussed. What
gives executives energy? What makes them feel alive? How best to
use this energy? Several essays in this section deal with the
effects of the pandemic on people's perception and management of
time. The second section focuses on leadership and highlights
several executive types you've probably encountered at work and
struggle to deal with; complainers, belligerent people, and
borderlines, will be part of this parade. Also touching upon mental
health issues and how organizations should deal with this, this
section gives a deep insight into the leadership issues that we now
face in what might be termed 'the new normal.' Finally, Kets de
Vries places societal issues under the microscope. Tackling a
multitude of interrelated topics, he explores the challenges of
bringing in democratic processes into organizational settings, as
well as the perils of loneliness and the issues faced by women in
organization - and how society can better deal with it. Littered
with Manfred Kets de Vries' trademark wit and psychological insight
into the pressing issues of today, these essays can be read
independently or as part of a guided tour around the daily perils
of executive life.
