【管理辞典】自恋领导力 / Narcissistic Leadership

「释义」

自恋型领导是一种领导风格，领导者只对他/她自己感兴趣。他们优先考虑的是自己，不惜牺牲他们的员工或团体成员为代价。这种领导者表现出自恋者的特征：傲慢、支配和敌视。这是一种非常普遍的领导风格，以至于有了专门的名字。自恋行为一般是不健康的，具有破坏性，“由不屈不挠的傲慢、自我陶醉以及对权力和钦佩的个人自我主义需求所驱动”。

「应用场景」

虽然个人魅力对策划积极的大规模转型有引导作用，但魅力领导力也有其 "黑暗面"。杰伊·康格（Jay Conger）和拉宾德拉·卡南戈（Rabindra Kanungo）在他们的开创性著作中这样描述：“具有超凡魅力的领导者容易出现极端的自恋，导致他们提倡高度自我服务和宏伟的目标。”一项临床研究表明，当魅力与自恋重叠时，领导者往往会滥用自己的权力并利用其追随者。另一项研究表明，自恋领导者倾向于对未来表现出大胆的眼光，这使他们在他人眼中更具魅力。

While charisma is conductive to orchestrating positive large-scale transformations, there can be a “dark side” to charismatic leadership. Jay Conger and Rabindra Kanungo describe it this way in their seminal book: “Charismatic leaders can be prone to extreme narcissism that leads them to promote highly self-serving and grandiose aims.” A clinical study illustrates that when charisma overlaps with narcissism, leaders tend to abuse their power and take advantage of their followers. Another study indicates that narcissistic leaders tend to present a bold vision of the future, and this makes them more charismatic in the eyes of others.
