The Leadership Mystique
09 Aug 06

“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

Leadership now requires very different behaviour from the 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 have them make that extra effort.

It's about understanding the way people and organizations behave, about creating relationships, about building commitment, and about adapting your behaviour to lead in a creative and motivating way.  

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 behaviour of leading people in the human enterprise.
