Why a Company Seems to Think for Itself
A company is more than the sum of the people in it. Over time it develops its own atmosphere: what can be said in meetings, who is listened to, which decisions get made and which quietly stall. Leaders feel these forces long before they can name them.
In this talk, Chandra draws on psychoanalysis and group dynamics to introduce how groups work, starting from the basics, and how who you are as a person shapes the way you lead. The basics are introduced from scratch.
