The Lack of Power or the Power of Lack in Leadership as a Discursively Constructed Identity
运用精神分析框架，通过对15位领导者的访谈，探讨领导身份如何被话语建构，并指出这种身份总是因无意识欲望而失败，既不如想象中能强加结构于他人，又比想象中更能解放领导者与想象自我的斗争。
The study uses a psychoanalytic framework to explore how leadership identities are constructed. It advances the idea that leadership identities are imaginary constructions that invariable fail, reiterating a lack of being. Empirical material consisting of interviews with 15 leaders is used to explore the productive role this lack plays. The study suggests that leadership identities are always already subverted by unconscious desire and therefore less powerful than we might think with regard to imposing structures on others, but also much more powerful than we might think as liberating struggles with leaders’ imaginary selves.
