"This is a book that any senior executive will find enlightening,
as it peels back the layers of self-deception to reveal how our
hidden personalities, largely hard-wired since early childhood,
affect the way we lead and manage others." Carol Kennedy, Director
magazine "This book is a real gem. The author writes with flair and
precision. ... I recommend this book very highly. It is clear,
timely and accessible. De Vries is a master of the elusive topic of
leadership. For the busy manager and consultant, it is a valuable
balance to a growing library that merely idealises and idolises
leadership." HR Monthly, Australia "Your business can have all the
advantages in the world; strong financial resources, enviable
market position, and state-of-the-art technology, but if leadership
fails, all of these advantages melt away." - Manfred Kets de Vries
Organizations are like automobiles. They don't run themselves,
except downhill.Successful leadership today demands very different
behavior from the conventional leadership tradition we are used to.
It requires leaders who speak to the collective imagination of
their people, co-opting them to join in the business journey;
leaders who are able to motivate people to full commitment and spur
them on to make that extra effort. It's all about human behavior.
It's about understanding the way people and organizations behave,
about creating relationships, about building commitment, and about
adapting your behavior to lead in a creative and motivating way.
So, stop right now and ask yourself what you're doing about the
leadership factor. How do you execute your own leadership style?
Whether you work on the shop floor or have a corner office on the
top floor of a shimmering skyscraper, what have you done today to
be more effective as a leader? There are no quick answers to
leadership questions, and there are no easy solutions. In fact, the
more we learn the more it seems there is to learn. In The
Leadership Mystique, management and psychology guru Manfred Kets de
Vries unpicks the many layers of complexity that underlie effective
leadership, and gets to the heart of the day-to-day behavior of
leading people in the human enterprise. Assess your own leadership
qualities with the probing self-questionnaires and learn how to
develop your skills for maximum impact as a leader.
