Review
"This book shows precisely and with great subtlety what is necessary for effective leadership. The capacity to decide and to wait, to think and to feel, to ponder and to act intuitively, to be deeply connected to present realities and yet always aware of overarching objectives -- these qualities are more than personal competencies: Mannie Sher demonstrates how such capacities can be embedded in work as diverse as a GP's clinic, a bank's boardroom and an entire regulatory system. I strongly recommend the book to all who are interested in leadership, and to everyone keen to understand how human beings can possibly cope, with wisdom and good humour, with the challenges of responsible roles in modern organisations." (Professor Jonathan Gosling, Centre for Leadership Studies)
"This compendium is a breath-taking, brilliant account of intellectual development and societal impact by a prolific man of his times. The account of his journey from the unlocking of a suppressed person, to the freedom to develop his intellectual gifts, to his development as an institutional leader and thought leader, and finally development in the role of guardian of beloved ideas and champion of ideas unfolding is quite inspiring. This is an important addition to the literature for adult development and systems theorists as well as for professionals who are in the business of making a difference in societal well-being." (Kathleen Pogue White, PhD, Psychoanalyst and Leadership Development Consultant, USA)
"This book beautifully represents the unique professional and intellectual journey of Mannie Sher from psychoanalytic psychotherapy to the study of unconscious processes in groups and organisations. This marvellous range of case studies, from the care sector to international finance, demonstrate the mind of a social innovator at work, a mind which is constantly in dialogue with its psychoanalytic mentors, particularly Bion." (Paul Hoggett, Professor of Social Policy)
