Sparks: The Archetypes of Leadership and Their Impact On Organizations | Manfred Kets de Vries

What kind of a leader are you? There are 8 types of leaders and each one makes decisions and impacts their organization in a different way. Understanding these archetypes helps us create more effective teams and make better decisions. Today's discussion is with Manfred Kets de Vries, Distinguished Clinical Professor of Leadership Development and Organizational Change at INSEAD. In our conversation, Manfred, talks about how his early life during the Second World War in Holland led him to study leadership and how people behave in organizations. He uses ideas from both economics and psychiatry to explore different leadership styles and explain why it's important for leaders to focus on their people.
