Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries brings a different
view to the much-studied subjects of leadership
and the dynamics of individual and organizational
change. Bringing to bear his knowledge and
experience of economics (Econ. Drs., University
of Amsterdam), management (ITP, M.B.A., and
D.B.A., Harvard Business School), and
psychoanalysis (Canadian Psychoanalytic
Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association), he scrutinizes the interface between
international management, psychoanalysis,
psychotherapy, and dynamic psychiatry. His
specific areas of interest are leadership
development, top executive team building, organizational change and cross-cultural management.
