The unprecedented challenges of today-a world-wide pandemic,
climate disruption on a global scale, and an economic instability
that knows no boundaries-require a leadership grounded in a
profound and unflinching awareness of our interconnectedness and
the existential stakes before us. The Path to Authentic Leadership
frames the dilemmas of leadership within the insights provided by
the Ouroboros, the mythic snake willing to destroy parts of itself
so that it can be renewed. Like the Ouroboros, today's leaders must
be prepared to enter into a dynamic, uncertain, and ever-changing
environment with the capacity to reflect, adapt, let go of what is
no longer working, and create solutions that are not only renewing,
but sustainable. Drawing from his decades of training in
psychoanalysis and the systems-psychodynamic method, Kets de Vries
discusses the effects of the pandemic in the context of the seven
deadly sins, the impact of shame, evil, the lure of charisma and
even the perils of procrastination. Also, he explores the inner
theatre of white-collar criminals and the super-rich. He comments
on the role of magic in management and the paradoxical role of
koans, serving as catalysts for change. From there, he goes on to
outline a path toward organizational transformation, turning again
to the self-renewing process presented by the Ouroboros. This
dynamic is applied to his 7C sequence for organizational
transformation-Context, Confrontation, Clarification,
Crystallization, Cascading, Consolidation, and Continuity. Its
enactment is brought to life through the story of a troubled CEO
and the careful, step-by-step advice offered by an experienced
executive consultant. Throughout, Kets de Vries reminds us that the
path to authentic leadership will be meaningless unless it is
guided by a deeply held commitment to serve as a force for good.
