What explains the fact that Srilanka has Karuna and MR type Leaders , a research throws some light on this
Narcissistic people most likely to emerge as leaders
COLUMBUS, Ohio When a group is without a leader, you can often count on a narcissist to take charge, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that people who score high in narcissism tend to take control of leaderless groups. Narcissism is a trait in which people are self-centered, exaggerate their talents and abilities, and lack empathy for others.
'Not only did narcissists rate themselves as leaders, which you would expect, but other group members also saw them as the people who really run the group,' said Amy Brunell, lead author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University at Newark.
Narcissists, by definition, are self-centered and overconfident in their own abilities.
This is true for MR :
And while narcissists are more likely to become leaders, results of one of the studies suggests that, once in power, narcissists don't perform any better than others in that leadership role.
'It's not surprising that narcissists become leaders,' Brunell said.
'They like power, they are egotistical, and they are usually charming and extraverted. But the problem is, they don't necessarily make better leaders.'
