William Czander has taught in MBA programs for 33 years and is a member of a unique group of scholars and practioners called organizational psychoanalysts. He has consulted to organizations and treated executives since 1980. In 2002 he left teaching to join Home Depot and spent almost 4 years in what he discovered was the absurdity of corporate life. He witnessed first hand how the corporation destroys commitment, how the life of becoming and then being an executive places an enormous psychological burden and often leads to decision making that to an outsider appears irrational but inside the executive constellation is normal and right. His years in business schools has given him insight into how they train young managers and how they collude in creating the “bottom line†executive, where responsibility and empathy is replaced with entitlement and greed. He gives an example of how an executive is driven to destroy a company while enriching himself.
He maintains that the enactment of laws, blaming, and yelling will not stop this executive behavior. At the rate they are going these executives will kill Corporate America unless we engage in a radical transformation in how we select, govern, educate, and train our corporate
leaders.
He is retired and occasionally teaches. He serves on the faculty at the following institutions: Pace University Lubin School of Business, Fordham University Graduate School of Business, LIM College MBA Program, St. Thomas Aquinas Graduate School of Business, and St. Mary's University College at the Mountbatten Institute.
