Maccoby's Freud-based leader types

(Advanced power framework) Maccoby's theory of leader types is a warning of the admiration given to certain types of leaders. He has divided leader types into three categories based on Freud's analysis of character types: 1. The erotic leader is what the HR framework suggests is the ideal leader. He or she creates strong emotional bonds with their coworkers and is often a celebrated ideal of how a leader should be. Can be found in healthcare and in schools. 2. The obsessive leader is structured and introverted. A productive obsessive leader can be said to be the ideal leader according to the structural framework. He or she is not a risk-taker, but is systematic in their way of thinking. Can be found in e.g. accounting and business planning. 3. The narcissistic leader is Maccoby's main point of investigation. He or she is a big risk-taker and does not want to make friends, they want to be admired. They constantly have their guard up and thinks of coworkers as enemies. Strengths and weaknesses: Maccoby believes erotic leaders' need for emotional connections make them bad leaders. Obsessive leaders are good leaders as they are calculating and do not take many risks. However, it is the narcissistic leader which often is held as a high ideal, because they are visionaries and great leaders when there is high uncertainty and others are paralyzed. However, they are bad team members and often disliked by others.
