Abstract:

Every individual wishing to gain a leadership role must first achieve mastery over himself by making a determined attempt to improve his personal qualities and inner potential. Carl Gustav Jung, the renowned Swiss psychologist and psychoanalyst, formulated this proposition. This author draws inspiration from Jung's approaches as he attempts to expand and develop them. He then introduces the cognitive psychological aspect of a modern leader's competences to his readers. This is, perhaps, one of the practical ways of grasping the otherwise quite abstract phenomena.
