Mythic leadership (Homer, Greece, William Shakespeare). - 248 p.

Adviser: Dennis Slattery.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2002.

This dissertation is a study of leadership from an archetypal perspective, centering on the protagonists from four works of fiction: Homer's <italic> Odyssey</italic>, the movies <italic>High Noon</italic> and <italic> Norma Rae</italic>, and Shakespeare's <italic>Life of Henry V</italic>. The study is based on an original model that describes two separate but complementary forces essential to effective leadership: decisiveness and connectedness. Decisiveness derives its energy from separation or differentiation and can be associated with the archetypal masculine or Taoist yang and Jung's principles of logos and <italic>animus</italic>. Decisiveness corresponds to the Cartesian-Newtonian science of separate moving parts. Connectedness derives its energy from inclusion or integration and can be associated with the archetypal feminine or yin and Jung's eros and <italic>anima</italic>. Connectedness also corresponds to the interrelatedness of modern quantum physics.

520 $a This dissertation is a study of leadership from an archetypal perspective, centering on the protagonists from four works of fiction: Homer's <italic> Odyssey</italic>, the movies <italic>High Noon</italic> and <italic> Norma Rae</italic>, and Shakespeare's <italic>Life of Henry V</italic>. The study is based on an original model that describes two separate but complementary forces essential to effective leadership: decisiveness and connectedness. Decisiveness derives its energy from separation or differentiation and can be associated with the archetypal masculine or Taoist yang and Jung's principles of logos and <italic>animus</italic>. Decisiveness corresponds to the Cartesian-Newtonian science of separate moving parts. Connectedness derives its energy from inclusion or integration and can be associated with the archetypal feminine or yin and Jung's eros and <italic>anima</italic>. Connectedness also corresponds to the interrelatedness of modern quantum physics.
520 $a This study begins with a theme, first laid down by Robert Graves, Joseph Campbell and others, that the epic hero Odysseus, already well invested in masculine decisiveness, has to learn in the course of his attempts to return “home” about feminine connectedness, through effective education from a number of powerful women. By examining Odysseus's transition from a narrowly masculine hero to a transcendently transformative one, we can identify several significant implications for the nature of mature leadership.
520 $a Odysseus begins, however, as a cunning and differentiated warrior which is the type of leader represented by the strong-silent hero Marshall Will Kane in <italic>High Noon</italic>. Typical of American movie heroes of 1940s and 1950s westerns, Kane is secure in the decisive masculine dimension but alienated from the feminine and consequently unable to attract followers. Norma Rae Webster, a textile worker in rural Alabama, is more advanced in feminine connectedness and, coached by two male helpers, comes to understand and integrate her masculine decisiveness. Norma Rae leads a successful move to unionize a factory: her standing silently on a worktable at the climax of the story is the triumphant fusion of the archetypal masculine and feminine and a symbolic act of great eloquence, announcing a new kind of leader. Finally, in his portrait of Henry V, Shakespeare lovingly portrays an ideal monarch, strong in both the decisive and connected dimensions.
520 $a Through examinations of these characters and others on an archetypal level, this study places leadership in a new light, focusing indirectly on cultural changes from 1952 to the present when developments throughout American culture have begun to insist on a new style of leadership inclusive of both masculine and feminine strengths. This leadership type is appropriate for an age in which interconnectedness has replaced separate moving parts as the dominant operating image and when complicated decisions about these increased interconnections must be made daily.
