Our Authors & Their Books

These are just a few of the authors and book projects we have supported.

Leadership Unhinged

Manfred Kets de Vries—2021

Leadership Unhinged: Essays on the Ugly, the Bad and the Weird examines what is going on at a deeper level, both collectively and individually, between leaders and followers. Employing theories derived from psychoanalytic psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, these essays help to unravel and expose the pathological leader-follower dynamics that generate such movements.

The book is infused with Kets de Vries’s now famous and inimitable style of analysis, which draws from myths, creates fairy tales, and uses irony and metaphor to bring his conclusions into greater relief and trigger new insights.

Transgenerational Gestalt Therapy

Masatsugu Momotake

Behind many of the unresolved psychological problems facing people today, there often lies hidden a “secret”—something outside of our awareness. What is it?

In Transgenerational Gestalt Therapy — Through the Lens of Family Therapy in Japan, Masatsugu Momotake delves into the frequently misunderstood to reveal an easy-to-understand explanation of techniques for unraveling the “entanglement of love” often passed from one generation to the next within the family chain.

This book was nominated for Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize. We translated the text from the Japanese and edited it for the English market. It was published by Glass Spider Publisher.

The Unwritten Rules of M&A

John Colley

Most boards are faced with the paradox of growth. Organic growth is slow and can be difficult in mature markets. M&A provides more rapid growth but is higher risk in terms of outcome. Businesses need growth not just to satisfy investors but to create market power and scale economies.

The Unwritten Rules of M&A helps readers navigate the difficult terrain faced by boards wishing to grow through acquisition. It identifies which strategies are more likely to be effective and how the chosen strategy largely determines the form of integration. Taking a step-by-step approach, it guides readers through the key decisions and likely business outcomes. Each chapter is accompanied by lessons which are helpful in summarising and consolidating the key issues.
