Reading about Roberto Assagioli and Psychosynthesis (Aubyn’s view)

A very good starting point to understanding the man and his ideas can be to read an article in Psychology Today by Sam Keen, based upon an interview with Roberto Assagioli shortly before his death. Click on this link to download the pdf:  The Golden Mean of Roberto Assagioli – Sam Keen.

If you want more reading, click here to see my Goodreads list of Psychosynthesis related books. This includes the three books published of Assagioli’s work ; Psychosynthesis, The Act of Will and Transpersonal Development.

Leadership paradigms and styles – Aubyn’s chapter in ‘Value Creation in the Pharmaceutical Industry’

This is Aubyn’s Chapter 19, ‘The Influence of Leadership Paradigms and Styles on Pharmaceutical Innovation’ in ‘Value Creation in the Pharmaceutical Industry’ Editor: Alexander Schuhmacher et al, (2016), published by Wiley

This provides both an overview of the leadership field as well a detailed exposition of Laloux’s model of organisational paradigms and how this translates into leadership styles. Although it is aimed at the Pharma sector, it is relevant to all sectors.

If you have read the above, you might also be interested in the following draft paper (a bit rough around the edges, initially written with a view to getting published in a Pharmaceutical journal, but needs more case stories).  This concerns the implementation of change needed to make open innovation work, particularly in terms of how to bring about a shift in culture, mindsets and attitudes.

The Leadership Gap – preface to Aubyn’s forthcoming book on leadership development

I am making this available now because this theme seems so relevant to what is going on in the world and I want to share my thoughts, maybe start a discussion about the notion of the leadership gap. I might also adapt and post this on our blog sometime soon.
