The Mind of the Leader : A Psychological Primer on Leadership

The Mind of the Leader is a unique book on leadership, written through the prism of a seasoned professor of psychiatry and himself a leader in his field. For decades, T. Byram Karasu has treated, advised, and coached highly successful executives and captains of various industries. Some books on leadership focus on strategies, management styles, information systems, and other technical skills. This book starts where these how-to manuals end and offers a different paradigm for leadership. With case vignettes, formal and informal encounters, and old-world uncommon wisdom, Dr. Karasu demonstrates sources of formidable successes and causes of potential catastrophic failures in leaders.
