Instead, Kets de Vries shows that our life is enriched, and our ability to make meaning and find happiness is increased, when we acknowledge the inevitable price we have to pay for knowing our own mind and understanding our inevitable end.

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.

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.

Change can be hard, and for many people, unlearning habitual patterns is an uphill challenge. It can be painful, but not as painful as remaining stuck.With an estimated 70% of change initiatives failing, Manfred Kets de Vries, a world renowed Professor of Leadership Development, offers a more positive outlook. Infused with his trademark inimitable style of analysis, he demonstrates how change methodologies can be applied in a highly effective way.At the heart of effective organizations lies human action—what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. As leaders, consultants and executive coaches we need to pay close attention to the individual and group dynamics of the organizations that we work with. By looking more deeply into the world of work with the aim of untangling and explaining what lies below the surface, this book helps you see through the darkness that may lead us astray, yet this kind of “night vision”—efforts to turn the irrational into the rational—requires in-depth observation. To find out what is really happening demands a more clinical orientation. To be successful, Kets de Vries argues, leaders need to recognize the importance of what have been referred to as “soft skills”, essentially using emotional intelligence to their advantage. Contrary to their name, these abilities are often the “hardest” skills to learn.Adopting a clinical approach to leadership, this book helps you to understand more about the dynamics of organizational life, leading to greater self-awareness, self-knowledge, and the ability to become a more effective change agent. By becoming aware not only of our conscious thoughts, but also of our unconscious prejudices, biases and habits it’s possible to understand more why so many well-laid plans and strategies derail or, conversely, why otherwise effective leaders sometimes act in unexpected ways.
