The Leader as Mirror: Clinical Reflections
从文学例子出发，回顾了“镜像”在人类发展中的本质，并联系到领导者与追随者的互动模式，指出镜像对建立和维持自我边界的重要性，以及危机中领导者可能成为反映我们愿望的镜子，从而制造虚幻现实并危及组织。
Starting with a literary example, the nature of “mirroring” is reviewed in the context of human development and linked to leader-follower interaction patterns. It is argued that mirroring is needed for establishing and maintaining the boundaries of the self. Depending on the nature and quality of the developmental interface distortive mirroring patterns may come to the fore. Using a case example, it will be demonstrated how, particularly in situations of crisis, leaders can easily turn into mirrors reflecting what we wish to see. This can create an illusory form of reality and in the process endangers the organization.
