part came from a book taht I read written by a man who
appeared with me at Taft School last summer - a school in
Connecticut - at a one week session in which the subject
before the house, and teh house cosisted of all headmasters
from all over the country - headmasters of secondary schools -
is it proper that a secondary school (and of course in this
case a private school) should teach ethics, leadership, or
what have you? If so, how do you do it? There were four
of us on the program. Two of them were theologians, on was
the Dean of the Divinity School at Yale, one was the progessor
of religion at Harvard - both of them were more concerned
with the secular aspects of religion that what I though we
were to talk about. The third guy was a psychoanalyst
whose work I didn't appreciate until I got away and though
about it a little while. His name is Michael Maccoby. he
has also been out of the States for a good period of years.
He had been doing some research with Eric Fromm down in Mexico
and then came back in 1969. He's interested in what kind
of leaders are prominent in societies. What kind of people
become leaders. He interviewed, psychoanalyzed if you will-
made the ink blot tests and everything else, of course, with
their concurrence - of about 250 business executives in 12
or 15 major companies in thr country. After that he wrote
a book and it's called The Gamesman. I'll go through this
very quickly but I think it makes some sense and it kind
of puts you on the map.
