Born in Johannesburg, South Africa during the apartheid era, business strategist, author and keynote speaker, Dr. Sandy Gluckman has been captivating audiences for many years with her amazing
stories of what she learned from growing up in a country that practiced
apartheid - and what she learned from Nelson Mandela. Sandy discusses how
living with apartheid drove her to research and write her book, Who’s in the Driver’s
Seat? in which she shows corporate leaders how to strengthen and focus
the authentic courage, resilience, energy and enthusiasm of their employees to
deliver extraordinary economic performance. Sandy holds a PhD in
clinical psychology and has post-graduate studies in organizational
behavior.
Doug and Sandy discuss her personal journey growing up witnessing the horrors of apartheid South Africa where Sandy witnessed, firsthand, the effects of
arrogance and egos in leadership. She saw the impact of ego driven leadership and dedicated her professional life to
studying ego and its effect on leadership in the workplace and in
relationships.
Sandy explains to Doug Knoll that humans are born with an essence that is frequently lost through the process of socialization and personalization. Genuineness
and authenticity are not approved by most cultures so children develop
the need to seek approval from others by conforming to social norms.
Thus, when there is a sense of threat or fear, we revert to
defensive ego driven behaviors and lose self-awareness. This changes
behaviors and causes conflict, poor decision-making, and disrupted
personal relationships.
Through a series of call-in questions, Sandy is able to provide insight into the impact of ego-driven behavior on weight, how an ego-driven boss affects his employees, and how to manage ego-driven disagreements in personal relationships.
