In leadership studies, many authors and writers,
basically, use examples of real life heroes both historical
and contemporary models, yet the impact of fictional
characters is underrated. This interdisciplinary study is
one such, which fuses many disciplines, namely
psychology, social science, literature and cinema and
religion into one; and to understand the impact it can have
on people. Narcissistic leadership trait is, therefore, the
subject of study.
Cinema, both western and eastern, has depicted this
element. Shakespeare’s plays have often portrayed this
concept. Thus, I take Othello and Omkara, the Indian
Shakespearean version and show how each director chose
to depict this trait of leadership.
Narcissism normally means self-obsession. This complex
psychological trait is explained keeping in mind recent
published works by many prominent thinkers, both on
narcissism as well as on leadership (in other words
narcissistic leaders). Yet, Othello or Omkara’s obsession
with himself and his prowess and judgment as a leader is
under scrutiny. The focus is to study narcissism as a trait
in a leader and explore this concept further and how
cinema depicted this trait rather than to give a
psychological judgment on whether both the leaders in the
movie had Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Thus, this
study is a fusion of many themes and ideas.
