"Above the entrance to the temple of
Apollo in Delphi was written Know Thyself.' The famous inscription
remains as valid today as it was thousands of years ago. To be effective
executives have to start with themselves. They have to understand the
reasons for doing what they do. They have to study their human motivation
from the inside to truly understand what is happening on the outside.
In addition to having a clear vision of themselves, their organization
and its place in the world of business, leaders must possess the ability
to pass that vision on. As merchants of hope', they need
to be able to speak to the collective imagination of their people, vividly
describing a dream that can be shared in a way that contributes to a
group identity".
- The Personality Audit by Manfred Kets
de Vries (2003)
Manfred Kets de Vries and his team have created
a number of innovative 360° Leadership Assessment on-line Instruments
targeting the international business leader. The design and development
of these instruments is based on the INSEAD Global Leadership Center (IGLC)
team's observations, research, teaching and consultation to world business
leaders. These instruments derive from studying more than 2000 international
business executives. Used together, they give a well-rounded view of the
leadership style of an executive.
