A Leadership Framework Derived from the Ideas of C. G. Jung

Abstract

The author proposes a framework for understanding leadership that in his view derives from the work of C. G. Jung. The framework is offered as a potential advance in the study of wholeness as it pertains to the concepts of leader and leadership. The framework is contextualized with numerous references to Jung’s wider work and compared to the life experiences of several notables, including Jung himself. Suggestions are offered regarding work that might prove useful in testing the framework’s validity and applicability.
