There is a cast of predictable characters, the hero or heroine is submitted to terrible trials, cruelty, and injustice but in the end the baddies get their comeuppance, good triumphs, and everyone lives happily ever after. In this book Manfred Kets de Vries, one of the world's leading authorities on the psychology of leadership, and a pioneering practitioner in the field of psychodynamic executive coaching, draws on the format of traditional fairy tales and tells us five stories that dramatize five key themes of dysfunctional leadership. The accompanying commentaries analyze each tale and examine the ways in which it applies to leadership behavior and organizational practices. This diagnostic element is supported by self-assessment tests that reinforce the main lessons of each tale and guide the reader's interpretation of the results. With Kets de Vries's guidance you'll be able to help your clients create best places to work, where everyoneis the best they can be, and lives 'happily ever after'.INSEAD Business Press,2947-7735Strategic planningLeadershipIndustrial organizationManagementPersonal coachingPersonnel managementExperimental economicsBusiness Strategy and LeadershipOrganizationManagementCoachingHuman Resource ManagementExperimental EconomicsStrategic planning.Leadership.Industrial organization.Management.Personal coaching.Personnel management.Experimental economics.Business Strategy and Leadership.Organization.Management.Coaching.Human Resource Management.Experimental Economics.658.4/07124Kets de Vries Manfred F.Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut144047BOOK9910254951303321Telling Fairy Tales in the Boardroom2088409UNINA
