Santiago Ávila publication of Tontocracia

Overview

Santiago Ávila, a veteran executive and consultant with over 35 years of experience in leadership roles at companies such as Eulen, Securitas, and Grupo Falcon, has released a new book titled ‘Tontocracia’ through the publisher Vergara.

Ávila uses a Socratic method to critique modern management practices and human behavior. He warns against the pitfalls of current ‘talent management’ and argues that leadership failures often stem from a lack of maturity and self-awareness. Rather than acting as a management guru, Ávila describes the work as an anthropological study intended to provoke reflection and emphasize the importance of critical thinking, suggesting that a societal renunciation of thought has led to ‘buenismo’.
