What makes a great leader? Have you got what it takes? And how can you improve your leadership skills to get the most out of yourself, the people you manage and your business? In this new paperback edition of The Leadership Mystique , acclaimed management guru Manfred Kets de Vries answers these questions and more. All ambitious managers want to become leaders and are keen to learn how to get there. Many managers/leaders suffer from what Kets De Vries has coined  'neurotic impostor syndrome', the fear of being exposed as a 'fake', and are seeking tips and guidance on how to become more effective and confident in their roles. First edition was extremely successful internationally. Manfred Kets De Vries is a major name and an accomplished writer. As well as being the author /editor of 17 books, he publishes widely in journals, newspapers and professional magazines, for instance recent (September 2005) articles in the Harvard Business Review and The Guardian. The second edition will be shorter, punchier and a lower-priced paperback taking the book to a wider audience. Includes clever diagnostics that get you thinking such as: If your company/team is drowning and you can save only 5 people, who would you save?
