8: Developing Leaders with Manfred Kets de Vries

World-renowned author, academic and award-winning teacher, 
Manfred Kets de Vries joins Simon to share his invaluable
insights on working with leaders and organisations.  Manfred
discusses his work with CEOs,  family business leaders, and
his work in Russia.  In his new e-book 'Journeys into
Coronavirus Land'  Manfred sets out the five fundamentals
that guide good leadership - Belonging, Purpose, Self Competence,
Self-Control and Transcendence.   Manfred's long term focus
has been to use psychological insights to make leaders more
self-aware, in order to make organisations more humane, 
therefore making a real difference in the world of work.  We

create a good society.
