Figure 1
The figure consists of three sets of concentric circles arranged in a triangular pattern. A set of four concentric circles is positioned at the top center. The central circle is solid and is labeled “Unethical Leader.” From innermost to outermost, the remaining circles are labeled as follows: “Personality,” “Social Needs,” and “Perceptions of Control.” The second set of four concentric circles is positioned at the bottom left. The central circle is solid and is labeled “Followers.” From innermost to outermost, the remaining circles are labeled as follows: “Need for Bonding,” “Perceptions of Control (mirrored),” and “Trust Distrust.” The third set of two concentric circles is positioned at the bottom right. The central circle is solid and is labeled “Environment.” The outer circle is labeled “Social Comparison.” The horizontal arrow pointing from “Environment” to “Followers” is labeled “Stagnation and Uncertainty.” The arrow pointing from “Followers” to “Environment” is labeled “Rancor and Envy.” The arrow pointing from “Environment” to “Unethical Leader” is labeled “Disinformation and Salience.” The arrow pointing from “Unethical Leader” to “Environment” is labeled “Uniforming and Monopolizing Information.” The arrow pointing from “Unethical Leader” to “Followers” is labeled “Disinformation Benevolence.” The arrow pointing from “Followers” to “Unethical Leader” is labeled “Blind Trust.” A horizontal arrow, labeled “Hostility and Derogation,” points from “Environment” to a circle positioned at the far right, at the same level. The circle is labeled “People who Differ.” Another upward arrow, labeled “Hostility and Derogation,” points from “Environment” to a circle positioned at the top right, at the same level as “Unethical Leader.” The circle is labeled “Other Leaders.” A horizontal arrow, labeled “Rancor and Envy,” points from “Unethical Leader” to “Other Leaders.”The main elements of the framework projected on the leadership triangle.
