The Leadership Mystique

"This is a book that any senior executive will find enlightening, as it peels back the layers of self-deception to reveal how our hidden personalities, largely hard-wired since early childhood, affect the way we lead and manage others." Carol Kennedy, Director magazine 

"This book is a real gem.  The author writes with flair and precision. ... I recommend this book very highly.  It is clear, timely and accessible.  De Vries is a master of the elusive topic of leadership.  For the busy manager and consultant, it is a valuable balance to a growing library that merely idealises and idolises leadership."  HR Monthly, Australia

"Your business can have all the advantages in the world; strong financial resources, enviable market position, and state-of-the-art technology, but if leadership fails, all of these advantages melt away." - Manfred Kets de Vries<
