Abstract
Students of organization theory and administration have frequently discovered that psychology and its various subfields can provide valuable insights. This article examines the contributions of Abraham Maslow to our understanding of organizational leadership. It traces the influence of Carl Jung on the development of Maslow's ideas and explores some important parallels between Maslow's notion of selfactualization and Jung's concept of individuation. The author discusses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a recent extension of Jung's work on personality types, and its contributions to understanding the psychology of organization leadership. Finally, he offers some hypotheses as to why more fully evolved, self-actualizing individuals are not more frequently drawn to the ranks of management.
