In September 2023 Claudia was invited to the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul to give two talks on leadership.
For the conference on “TECHNO BIG BANG. HUMANITIES ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS!” she gave two presentations:
In both talks, she explored the role of emotions in strategic thinking and decision-making, which are key tasks for leaders. But these are not enough, as she explained, self-awareness, creating containment and creating emotional trust are more critical to make the most of our human(e) way of being – to deal with AI, but also to complement it.
This accessible book guides us through the emotional and relational fallacies of organizational leadership while offering practical routes out of them. Professor Claudia Nagel explores the leader as an individual and the context of leadership within organizations, covering concepts such as attachment theory, women in leadership, and hybrid working.
Claudia has invited several experts to write case-studies – they include Gilles Amado, Birgitte Bonnerup, Philip Boxer, Halina Brunning, Annemette Hasselager, Manfred FR Kets de Vries, Olya Khaleelee, Fiona Martin, Ajit Menon, Rose Mersky, Mal O’Connor , Larissa Philatova, Martin Ringer, Rob Ryan, and Kalina Stamenova.
Leadership goes well beyond efficient management, and the significance of emotions on the success of organizations is often underestimated. In Leading With Depth: The Impact of Emotions and Relationships on Leadership , Claudia Nagel guides us through the emotional and relational fallacies of organizational leadership from both the personal and the systemic perspective.
Nagel expertly weaves theory, including attachment, neuroscientific, psychodynamic, psychosocial, and psychoanalytic, with practical advice. She looks at the leader as an individual and leadership as a context within systems such as groups, organizations, and societies. The book is divided into two parts and contains forty figures to illustrate important aspects of leadership. The first chapter in each part is purely theoretical followed by more method-oriented and practical chapters, which are complemented by pertinent case studies from well-known experts in the field (coaches, consultants, or academics). Each chapter concludes with a brief overview of the key learnings for the reader to take away. In this way, Nagel encourages practical learning and application and engagement with the text.
Nagel’s clear language spares the reader of academic jargon and is highly readable. The book successfully bridges the gap from theoretical concepts to real-life application and will be of value to incoming and experienced leaders alike, as well as organizational consultants and executive coaches looking to inform their practice.
The Peace Studies in The Netherlands invite for a zoom meeting and discussion on the 21st of December at 4 pm CET.
Prof. Nagel is invited to join the panel “The State of Affairs “, which will be hosted by the Stichling vredeswetenschappen and the University Leiden. She will explore how her chair and her research will contribute to peace studies and might contribute to prevent societal conflict.
Other panelists will be;
Joachim Koops, Chair of Security Studies and Scientific Director of the Institute of Security and Global Affairs at Leiden University’s campus in The Hague – and co-organizer of this symposium
Jaap de Wilde is professor of International Relations & Security Studies at the Department of International Relations & International Organization and the Centre for International Relations Research at the University of Groningen
Abbey Steele, associate professor of political science at the University of Amsterdam and Director of the Amsterdam Center for Conflict Studies.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Eduard Nazarski, former Director of Amnesty International and the Dutch Council for Refugees
