Abstract

Dark leadership may be seen as a twisting of charismatic leadership or transformational leadership, or as a set of traits in the leader, including Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and psychopathy. Lewis contributes to a picture of dark leadership through his description of a deficient practical mind, leadership vacuums, social structures, and bureaucracy. In Lewis, dark leaders have limited power and meet ironic ends. In order to avoid dark leadership, leaders should maintain just pursuits of knowledge and engage in self-monitoring, attending to one’s words, deeds, and character.
