insightinsight into their own psychological makeup. The specific model or terminology used to obtain
insight is less important than having gained an understanding of needs, predispositions and emotional responses.

Psychodynamic Approach
Leaders are more effective when they understand the psychological makeup of their subordinates. Again the particular labels are less important
than having a knowledge of the personality characteristics of team members.

Psychodynamic Approach
It is important to distinguish this approach from the trait, style and situational approaches. In the trait approachtrait approach, certain characteristics of a person are
assumed to be important in attaining leadership status or performing leadership tasks.
The style approachstyle approach suggests that a certain leadership style, particularly the team management style, is the best.
Situational leadershipSituational leadership moves on to suggest that the key element is the match between the leader’s style or behaviors and the needs of the subordinates.

25
Psychodynamic Approach
The psychodynamic approach makes none of these assumptions.
There is no particular personality type that is better than any other in a leadership position.
There is no need to match the personality type of the leader to that of the subordinates in order to have an effective work situation.

Emotional Intelligence
The psychodynamic approach focuses more on learned and deep-seated emotional responses that are not in immediate awareness.
The leader is not conscious of his or her emotional responses or of their consequences in behavior.
This aspect of the approach is unique and results in an entirely different way of dealing with leadership development.
