👍 Worth It
This INSEAD-rooted multi-author collection brings psychodynamic psychology into executive coaching in a way that almost nothing else in the literature does — that synthesis is genuinely rare and useful for organizational psychology professionals. The academic density and price tag make it a specialist purchase, not a general leadership read. If you are an executive coach or business-school faculty, the depth earns its place on your shelf.
