History Approach

Purpose The purpose of this study is to narratively explore the influence of leader narcissism on leader/follower social exchange. Moreover, while researchers acknowledge that narcissistic personality is a dimensional construct, the preponderance of extant literature approaches the concept of narcissistic leadership categorically by focusing on the reactive or constructive narcissistic extremes. This bimodal emphasis ignores self-deceptive forms of narcissistic leadership, where vision orientation and communication could differ from leaders with more reactive or constructive narcissistic personalities. Design/methodology/approach The authors argue that they encountered a compelling example of a communal, self-deceiving narcissist during archival research of Robert Owen’s collective experiment at New Harmony, Indiana. To explore Owen’s narcissistic leadership, they utilize an analytically structured history approach to interpret his leadership, as he conveyed his vision of social reform in America. Findings Approaching data from a ‘history to theory’ perspective and via a communicative lens, the authors use insights from their abductive analysis to advance a cross-paradigm, communication-centered process model of narcissistic leadership that accounts for the full dimensional nature of leader narcissism and the relational aspects of narcissistic leadership. Research limitations/implications Scholars maintaining a positivist stance might consider this method a limitation, as historical case-based research places greater emphasis on reflexivity than replication. However, from a constructionist perspective, a focus on generalization might be considered inappropriate or premature, potentially hampering the revelation of insights. Originality/value Through a multi-paradigmatic analysis of the historical case of Robert Owen and his visionary communal experiment at New Harmony, the authors contribute to the extant literature by elaborating a comprehensive, dimensional and relational process framework of narcissistic leadership. In doing so, the authors have heeded calls to better delineate leader narcissism, embrace process and relational aspects of leadership and consider leader communication as constitutive of leadership.

New Harmony

For eons the global environment of the planet has shaped the biosphere, and has been in turn shaped by the biosphere. According to the Gaia hypothesis, the overall impact of the biosphere on the global environment has been beneficial for the development and sustenance of life. However, this harmonious relationship between the biosphere and the environment has been disturbed with the emergence of one species, Homo sapiens, in the biosphere in the last million years. Our species has the potential to cause major disruptions in the global environment, thus threatening the integrity of the biosphere and its own survival. Some of these adverse effects are already known. The crucial challenge facing the future of humanity is to achieve a fundamental understanding of the global environment and to arrive at a new harmony between ourselves and nature. The adverse impact of humans on the local environment has been known for some time in human history. Urban pollution is an ancient problem. Land degradation and destruction of natural habitats were the probable causes of the earliest recorded migration of the Chinese people during the Shang Dynasty around 1500 B.C. (about the time of Moses) in the valleys of the Yellow River. However, until recently there has been relatively little anthropogenic impact on the global environment. There are at least two major global environmental problems that have been identified to date: the CO2 greenhouse effect and the global ozone depletion. These problems lie at the heart of what makes Earth a habitable planet. As discussed in chapter 9, Earth's atmosphere is responsible for a greenhouse effect of about 30°C, without which the surface of the planet would be too cold to allow water to flow. A doubling of atmospheric CO2 would increase the mean surface temperature of the planet by 2-3 °C. There would also be major shifts in the patterns of precipitation. Although the anticipated climatic changes caused by CO2 are small compared to the variations in climate in the geological history of the planet, the rate of change is unprecedented and could result in major social and economical disruptions. As discussed in chapter 9, life on land became possible only after an ozone shield had developed. As far as we know, no advanced living organism can survive the harsh radiation environment on Earth's surface in the absence of this ultraviolet screen.

The 1960S

At any moment in time there ought to be some harmony between the intervention of the state that the market requires (to correct its market failures), and that citizens demand (to promote equity and a desirable income distribution) and the actual government intervention. This chapter argues that such harmony may have existed in the years when laissez faire was in place and was broadly accepted by those who had political power. The harmony became less and less evident in the later decades of the nineteenth century and during the Great Depression. There seemed to have been greater harmony in the 1960s. That harmony went down in the late 1970s and in the 1980s. It might have been partly restored in the 1990s, with a different conception of the role of the state, with less state and more market, at least in some countries. The harmony broke down again with the Great Recession in 2008–10, There is now, once again, a search for a new paradigm that would indicate the existence of a new harmony.
