Down the Rabbit Hole of Leadership

"Down the Rabbit Hole of Leadership" by Manfred Kets de Vries offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by leaders in today's complex and often chaotic world. This book explores the psychodynamic dimension of leadership in both business and political contexts. Kets de Vries employs the metaphor of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" to illuminate the absurdities and dilemmas that leaders encounter in their quest for truth and clarity. The reading is particularly relevant at a time when understanding social and political dynamics is becoming increasingly difficult. The chapters are structured to provide both theoretical insights and practical examples that illustrate the everyday challenges within organizations. With concise and sharp analyses, the author helps to understand the impact of the current confusion on leadership in companies and the workplace.
