ABSTRACT

Organisations of course, vary intent as well: there are profit making companies large and small, regulating public sector departments and ministries as well as the variety of non-profits. Organisational structures can vary with steep hierarchies with welldefined ranks to flat almost linear structures of self-managed work teams and cooperatives. Executive Impression Management has given us the five different types of managers, four of whom will run workplaces to achieve their own aims of power and control, and we know that they will use violent methods to obtain this, no matter how subtle the control mechanisms. Broader psychological theory has it that if an individual is feeling angry, sad and fearful which are the negative energy sides of the dimensions, it will result in stress. Malevolent managers stay malevolent; they do not change once they have reached the top. Once they achieve that, they are ripe for poaching by head-hunters into another organisation to 'lead'.
