by Alessandro Cavelzani; Lloyd C. Williams
International Journal of Complexity in Leadership and Management (IJCLM), Vol. 2, No. 3, 2013

Abstract: When the leader does not succeed in maintaining the team focused on the desired working objectives, unconscious dysfunctional dynamics emerge in the group compromising the business. Psychoanalysis widely studied the unconscious both at individual and at group levels. This paper aims to briefly present such unconscious dynamics, and to propose also an explanation of them which links psychoanalysis with the contemporary complex living systems theories.
