Life and Death in the Executive Fast Lane Essays on Irrational Organizations and Their Leaders

Take a humour break. Management guru and corporate pathology expert Mandred Kets de Vries puts organizations on the couch in this collection of mad, funny, and outrageous essays. By combining the "dismal science" of economics and the "impossible profession" of psychoanalysis, Kets de Vries presents eclectic commentaries on how things really work around the office. Capturing the essence of the irrationalities that pervade our organizations and compromise our leaders, he offers surprising and useful ideas about what makes companies tick, and why they and the people in them ultimately succeed or fail. A great bedtime - or lunchtime - reader.Kets de Vries, Manfred F. R. is the author of 'Life and Death in the Executive Fast Lane Essays on Irrational Organizations and Their Leaders', published 1995 under ISBN 9780787901127 and ISBN 0787901121.
