The narcissistic leadership style is characterized by a focus on individual gain over stakeholder gain. Those who have the characteristics of narcissistic leadership have a tendency to manipulate circumstances and manipulate others, to attain their own goals.

It is sometimes referred to as “Charismatic Leadership”, due to their ability to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. They make employees feel they have a voice and say, and create a self-image so powerful that people are naturally drawn to them. They draw influence by projecting their personality strengths, can be passionate and energetic, but can also be self-centered.

The focus of this style of leadership is self-centered and leaders only do things to gain their own advantage. This can be highly successful in roles that include celebrity, or running for political office.
