About Manfred F.R. Kets de Vries
| Bibliography
 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, MBA, and DBA, Harvard
Business School), and psychoanalysis (Canadian Psychoanalytic
Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association),
Kets de Vries scrutinizes the interface between international
management, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and dynamic
psychiatry. His specific areas of interest are leadership,
career dynamics, executive stress, entrepreneurship,
family business, succession planning, cross-cultural
management, team building, coaching, and the dynamics
of corporate transformation and change.
A clinical professor of leadership development, he holds
the Raoul de Vitry d'Avaucourt Chair of Leadership Development
at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France. He is the Director
of INSEAD's Global Leadership Centre. He is program
director of INSEAD's top management seminar, "The Challenge
of Leadership: Creating Reflective Leaders" and the
program "Consulting and Coaching for Change", and has
five times received INSEAD's distinguished teacher award.
He has also held professorships at McGill University,
the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales, Montreal,
and the Harvard Business School, and he has lectured
at management institutions around the world. He is a
founding member of the International Society for the
Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations. The Financial

thinkers on leadership.
