ABSTRACT
The leadership/membership field is defined and seen as providing a rich ground of inquiry into fundamental issues for group members. Within each group, certain issues are inaccessible to the group leader’s awareness—this is the “shadow of the leader” material. The shadow of the leader is a result of the group leader’s psychology as it meets the field conditions of this particular group. The wisdom of the entire group is needed in order to understand this material. Several case examples are presented.
