David Thomas works as a company director and consultant. Formerly, as CEO, he built a business up from three to nearly one hundred employees. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute and hold masters and doctoral degrees in management from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Derby.
His research interests are in managerial psychology, narcissistic behaviour, and the philosophy of happiness. He has researched over many years the behaviour of CEOs and senior managers, as well as other office staff and shop floor workers from a variety of walks of life. His doctoral thesis is entitled 'Analysis of Senior Management Teams that have Demonstrated a Proclivity for Growth'; it is held at the British Library.
David is the author of the book Narcissism: Behind the Mask; it was written following his in-depth research into CEOs and company directors, which revealed high levels of narcissistic behaviour in the boardroom, and in the home. It was published in hardback format, then a second printing, both of which sold out. The book was then issued in paperback format, re=printed again, and it again sold out. It is now only available in eBook formats.
Everyone who David Thomas knows from his days in Leysin has an interesting story about how they ended up there. This is his. This is also a story about the rise and fall of the American College of Switzerland and how, as student body president, David got caught in the middle of a financial scandal that hinted at bigger problems below the surface. Those who attended ACS from 1963 to 1991 know it was a special school – although small and obscure, the education was really the extraordinary experience itself. Its demise was unnecessary and, sadly, self-inflicted.
