HR & Leadership
Book: The Art of Sustainable Performance (2017) #1 bestseller, category HR & Talent Management

The secret of winning individuals and teams lies in the combination of talent and four key performance characteristics, which – strangely enough – many organizations do not select for…
Team Leadership
Book: Leadership is Parenting Upside Down (2018) #1 bestseller, category ebooks
Leadership is a contradiction in terms. A paradox, where our behavior is driven by our primary motivations. Most executives lead when they should not do it, and do not lead when they should. Dealing with our motives and that paradox requires a great deal of experience and skill for leaders in addition to self-knowledge.
Most executives step in when they need to get out and step out when they need to get in. Discover the highest form of leadership: Learn to lead!
Psychology & Leadership
Book: The Devil Inside (2020) #1 bestseller, Personal Leadership category
If there is one thing that Bas has learned from his years of experience as a supervisor of top coaches, Olympic and world champions, then it is the importance of mindset change. How does one grow as a person and as a professional in times of uncertainty? Knowing how and when to make choices that often seem paradoxical?
‘The Devil Inside’ is about breaking through your own blockages. The more you can silence that inner voice – your devil inside – the more you are able to grow and the more others recognize your leadership.
Organization Transformation
Book: Out of Control (2021) Inaugural lecture
Research shows that effective leaders encourage rebellious (nonconformist) behavior in favor of the organization. Think of contradiction, originality, experimentation, innovation and improvisation. It is precisely by decoupling control from hierarchy and rules, and handing over control to professionals, that organizations become ‘in-control’ again.
But how do you do that? How do you successfully involve fellow managers in this movement? And meet the world famous Nick Vujicic!
Excellent Leadership
Book: The 7 Lessons of Excellent Leadership (2023) To be published Spring 2023
Getting Things Done! Leadership is a contradiction in terms. A paradox, where our behavior is driven by our primary motivations. Most executives lead when they should not do it, and do not lead when they should.
Optimize self-efficacy and problem-solving ability in your team and organization and really get things done. An effective manager knows how to achieve more than 30% more results!
Executive Board/SB leadership
Book: Miscellaneous
What does leading and supervising boards and directors mean? There is a great need for insight into what determines the choices you have to make for you as a director. Which aspects determine your leadership? And how do you translate that into your administrative context and add something to it based on your own individuality? When do you step in as a driver? When do you get off?
Dealing with their own dilemmas and those of others requires board members to not only have a great deal of self-knowledge, but also experience and skill.
