Kets de Vries looks at the way basic psychological processes operate on individual and corporate performance and analyzes them in the context of case studies of leaders and organizations. He examines narcissism, dysfunctional collusion between leaders and followers, some new leadership archetypes, and the roles that \"organizational therapists\" (coaches or consultants) can play in their interventions. The book includes a lengthy study of Vladimir Putin, as \"CEO of Russia, Inc.,\" an assessment of the former Russian president's performance as an organizational leader.
