Abstract:

Narcissistic leaders are often seen as charismatic and confident leaders at first. However, self-interest
and exploitation characteristics surface later and can have a destructive effect on organizations. Having
narcissistic leaders within an organization can be helpful in times of crisis and major transitions because of their confidence in their ability. On the other hand, Narcissist leader’s behavior has a negative effect on employee’s job satisfaction, while also exhausting company resources for short-term gain. Organization’s policies should regulate narcissistic behavior to use their best abilities. Women narcissist leaders are considered a less risky leader and more likely to follow organization regulations and implement them.
