Odom, S., Boyd, B., & Williams, J. (2012). Impact of Personal Growth Projects on Leadership Identity Development. Journal of Leadership Education, 49-63.
The author creates a very compelling case with the Personal Growth Project (PGP) assessments that were conducted based on qualitative analysis. The authors conducted a study in which 90 students from Texas A&M University participated in a personal leadership education class. The class was conducted in the fall and spring of 2010 by utilizing 3 classes to reduce the bias in the data. The students were presented with a series of questions with a goal to identify the internal and external leadership identity.

The three styles of leadership identified by the authors are: Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership and Laissez-faire leadership.
Transformational leadership is a style of leadership in which the leader identifies a vision for a committed team while concurrently executing the vision. In this style of leadership, the team is committed to the leader as they have bought-in to the leader’s vision.
Transactional leadership is a style of leadership in which the leader promotes compliance with their vision by utilizing reward and punishment. With this style of leadership, the team’s acceptance of the leader’s vison is less important than their conformance.
Laissez-faire leadership is a style of leadership in which the leader allows the group to perform independently and self-directed. The leader is hands-off and allows the group to make their own decisions as well as choose the direction. In this style of leadership, the leader does not provide a vision, rather allows the employees to formulate their own while still expecting …show more content…

The author performs assessments based on historical decisions as well as empirical data to assign scores. The method in which the author performs the assessment is by recruiting 121 experts to evaluate the personality of the 42 president.

    Hare used these core factors to develop the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised assessment tool that helps detect psychopathy in people. They developed this theory because psychopathic behavior was thought of as miscellaneous of a topic to be categorized in one or two factors. The four recommended factors proposed by Hare and Neumann are: Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle and Antisocial. The first factor, interpersonal consists of superficial charm, manipulation, pathological lying, and a grandiose sense of self-worth. Secondly, the affective factor involves the lack of remorse or guilt, shallow affect, callous and/or lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility for own actions. The third factor is lifestyle, which comprises of need for stimulation and/or proneness to boredom, parasitic lifestyle, impulsivity, irresponsibility, unsatisfactory work habits, and lack of realistic long-term goals. Finally the fourth factor is antisocial and contains poor behavioral controls, early behavior problems, juvenile delinquency, criminal versatility, and revocation of conditional release (Hare & Neumann, 2005, p.58-59). According to Hare and Neumann “The 4 psychopathy factors are significantly interrelated, and thus can be comprehensively explained by a single superordinate (that is, psychopathy) factor.” (Hare, R. D., & Neumann, C. S.

    The study of the psychopath shows someone who is incapable of feeling guilt, remorse or empathy for what they do. They are generally cunning, manipulative and know what is right or wrong but dismisses it as applying to them.

  • Argumentative Essay On Psychopaths

    1213 Words  | 3 Pages

    The media most often showcases psychopaths as individuals who are inherently evil and dangerous towards themselves and others. Yet, this concept of psychopathy goes far beyond this idea of pure evil and instead necessitates a needed psychological understanding. These individuals, psychopaths, are generally characterized by a lack of empathy and conscience. Indeed, psychopath’s indifference to the repercussions of their actions combined with other characteristics such as hostility and aggression make for a potentially dangerous personality (Lyken, 1996, p.30). In order to identify a psychopath’s recidivism, it is important to differentiate them from sociopaths who, instead of having a psychological impairment that makes it difficult for them to socialize, have been systematically under socialized (Lyken, 1996, p.30). In accordance. psychologists have developed the methods such as the Psychopathy Checklist- Revised (PCL-R) to help identify those with psychopathic tendencies (Walters, 2012, p.409). That is why predictions of recidivism among psychopaths is most efficient when done
