Konstantin Korotov is an Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Leadership Development Research at ESMT – European School of Management & Technology (www.esmt.org) in Berlin, Germany. My job is about helping people be successful and stay happy. Leadership development and executive coaching aim at achieving this, and that's why I do research in these fields. I come from Russia, but I have lived, studied, and worked in various parts of the world, including US, France, and, currently Germany. I work with executives worldwide. I am a former doctoral student and currently a co-author with Manfred Kets de Vries (INSEAD and ESMT), a world-renowned expert on leadership, happiness, and executive coaching. I hold a PhD in Management (Organizational Behavior) from INSEAD, a Master of Science (Management) from NYU, and an undergraduate degree from Moscow Linguistic University. 

I teach executives in open enrollment and customized programs on the topics of leadership, as well as in the MBA and EMBA programs at ESMT - one of the world's top providers of executive education (according to the latest Financial Times ranking).
