Our guest today is Dennis Tourish, Professor of Leadership and Organization Studies at The University of Sussex. He's an academic and author with a particular interest in charismatic and transformational leadership within organizations including businesses. He's studied organizations such as Enron, Theranos and WeWork and has researched how some leaders use cultic and coercive practices. He's also critical of the modern practice of transformational leadership and its attempts to change people's beliefs values and even their identity.
Professor Tourish also speaks about his experience as a young man in a far left group he identifies as cultic, The Militant Tendency.
