WHO WE ARE

Founded by Manfred Kets de Vries, one of the world’s foremost thinkers on
leadership, the Kets de Vries Institute (KDVI) is a consulting firm that

WHAT WE DO

KDVI’s psychodynamic-systemic approach to organisational intervention identifies
challenges and issues at the business level, and in addition, draws attention to
the deeper sources of energy and motivational forces that give impetus to, or
create inertia against, human actions in organisations.

In other words, we work with people in a holistic way, within their specific
business context.

MANFRED KETS DE VRIES LAUNCHES HIS NEW BOOK

06 Nov, 2018

In the previous book in this series, Manfred Kets de Vries observed the
experiences of leaders on a rollercoaster ride through their professional and
personal lives. Now, he follows them down the rabbit hole into the unknown,
where, like Lewis Carroll’s Alice, they find a dystopian Wonderland in which
everyone seems to have gone mad and life functions according to its own crazy
logic, throwing up all kinds of obstacles in the search for truth.

WHY WISDOM CAN’T BE TAUGHT

04 Jul, 2017

The day after becoming the CEO of a company facing turbulent times, David had a
dream. In it, while walking on a beach he discovered a bottle. On opening, a
genie appeared offering him a wish in exchange for her freedom. Eschewing
riches, fame or a long life, David chose the gift of wisdom.

In today’s hyperactive digital age, attaining wisdom is a challenge. With
tablets and phones and their apps constantly vying for our immediate attention,
it is increasingly difficult to find the time and mental space for making
meaningful connections or engaging in the deep conversations, reflection,
emotional awareness and compassion, necessary in the pursuit of wisdom.

MEETINGS: A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH

02 May, 2017

Most people, if they are honest, will admit that they don’t always like
meetings. In this two part blog series, we explore what might be going on under
the surface in meetings. In Part One, we look at the fact that in meetings,
people are not always able to tackle the real challenges the group faces, and
may not even be aware that as a group, they are off course. In Part Two,
available Thursday 4th May, we explore group role identities and how they
influence meetings in hidden ways.

AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR YOUR TEAM’S STRESS LEVEL

27 Apr, 2017

Stress causes absenteeism and burnout; but how can you tell if a colleague or an
employee is at risk from severe stress? You can use a checklist based on the
APGAR scoring system, a method introduced in 1952 by Dr. Virginia Apgar to
quickly summarize the health of a newborn baby. Rather than being a test,
survey, or assessment tool, the Stress-APGAR provides a set of guidelines that
help executives quickly recognize and articulate factors that may lead to
burnout.

HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT DIAGNOSING AND ASSESSING WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE
INDIVIDUAL, TEAM OR ORGANISATION AND WHAT THE REAL ISSUES ARE?

26 Jan, 2017

For many first time consultants and coaches, and even experienced ones, the
first encounter with a client, organisation and its members can be unnerving yet
exciting. Like anthropologists, they are entering into a new and unfamiliar
dynamic system with its particular set of explicit practices and a host of
subtle but powerful underlying dynamics. How does one go about diagnosing and
assessing what is going on in the individual, team or organisation and what the
real issues are? How does the organisation organise itself, what are the
cultural practices in which they engage, what is the energy which drives the
organisation, and what are the unspoken but deeply embedded understandings and
arrangements which affect their capability to get things done, to control their
environment, to adapt to change, and to effectively meet the organisation’s
goals and purpose?

REVEALING THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES; 360° FEEDBACK AND TIPPING POINTS FOR CHANGE

09 Jan, 2017

As top executives move up the organisational ladder, they are increasingly

their subordinates do not have the courage to speak critically or to confront
anyone with their concerns.

WHO CARES? EMPATHY IN THE WORKPLACE

13 Dec, 2016

Human beings are intensely social animals and we seek and invent ways to
connect. Empathy is one way to achieve effective and satisfying interpersonal
relationships. It is the ability to share and understand the feelings of another
person, their pain, joy, fears and anger in oneself.
