Prisoners of Leadership

Manfred F. R. Kets deVries

The European Institute of Business Administration (INSEAD), Boulevard de Constance, 77305 Fontainebleau Cedex, France.

Taking a psychoanalytic perspective, this paper investigates the mysterious bond between leaders andfollowers. Using such concepts as charisma, projection, transference, defense mechanisms, and the psychology of groups, regressive processes between leaders and followers are explored. In the context of leadership, attention is also given to the psychological consequences of the faulty management of anxiety and aggression.
