DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF LEADERSHIP - MANFRED F ...

In the previous book in this series  Manfred Kets de Vries observed the experiences of leaders
on a rollercoaster ride through their professional and personal lives. Now  he follows them
down the rabbit hole into the unknown  where  like Lewis Carroll's Alice  they find a dystopian
Wonderland in which everyone seems to have gone mad and life functions according to its own
crazy logic  throwing up all kinds of obstacles in the search for truth.Understanding what is
happening around us has become more difficult than ever in the Age of Trump. Don't imperatives
like build that wall sound very much like Off with his head? Unfortunately  and unlike Alice 
we are not going to wake up from a bad dream and discover that everything is nothing but a pack
of cards.The first part of this book looks at the psychodynamics of leadership in both a
business and a political context. The second focuses on the psychopathology of everyday life in
organizations and the seemingly endless ways people can make a mess of things - including mega
pay packages  acting out  digital addiction and other dysfunctional behaviour patterns. Each
chapter ends with a brief anecdote to illustrate the dilemma it presents.In short  sharp
nuggets  Kets de Vries helps make sense of how the madness of the present has affected
leadership in organizations and the workplace.
