“Star performers are often a study in paradoxes – they are walking contradictions,” Manfred Kets de Vries, INSEAD Clinical Professor of Leadership and Organisational Change, told INSEAD Knowledge recently. He has put some observations of some 20 years of research and management training with CEOs into a white paper entitled “Star Performers: Paradoxes Wrapped Up in Enigmas”.

A Manager or a leader has to manage 1000s of peopel and his/her decision may affect millions. Managing 1000 people means managing 1000 minds. If a manager is unable to manage his own mind, how can he manage 1000 minds?? As Kets de Vries rightly says- 'The journey to stardom begins inwardly.'
