Jungian Analytical Psychology in the workplace - Murray Stein Leadership 2.0

    • Management

I am a big proponent of the work of Carl Jung and the business world could benefit from his insights. Therefore, I was pleased to have the opportunity to talk to Murray Stein about applying Jungian Analytical Psychology in the workplace. 

Interestingly enough we met on labor day, something Jung would call undoubtedly label as synchronicity!   

Murray Stein is a graduate of Yale University (B.A. and M.Div.), the University of Chicago (Ph.D.), and the C.G. Jung Institut-Zurich (Diploma). He is a founding member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and of the Chicago Society of Jungian Analysts. He has been the president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (2001-4), and the President of The International School of Analytical Psychology-Zurich (2008-2012).

He published tens of books about Carl Jung and analytical psychology, including for instance ‘Jung’s Treatment of Christianity’ and ‘Jung’s Map of the Soul’. The focus of our conversation was a book he edited with John Hollwitz called ‘The Psyche at work - Workplace Applications of Jungian Analytical Psychology’. 

We discussed a number of topics, including

- The essence of true leadership

- The identity of organization

- Business ethics

- The need for embracing the shadow to prevent shadow possession and corporate scandals

- The leadership style of different American presidents

- The relation between the need for self-reflection by leaders, executive coaching, and psychoanalysis

- The validity of MBTI

- The importance of having a personal North star
