Leary Model

This model allows to better understand interaction between people. The two dimensions of the leary model are Dominance and Agreement level.

Dominance Level - Is a person in the group rather in

  • DOMINANCE or "Above" : he wants to define the contents (decides when to start the meeting, takes decisions, wants to speack)
  • SUBMISSION or "Under" : he allows others to define the context (listens to the others, don't mind to be interrupted)

Agreement level - Is a person in the group rather :

  • AGAINST : the person is rather against the content.
  • TOGETHER: the person agrees on the content (strenghten the team spirit, agrees to go in that direction)

By combining those categories you come to multiple possibilities:

 Title  Combination  Pathology 
 Leading  Dominance-Together  autocratic dictatorial 
 Helping  Together-Dominance  protectionist, motherly behavior 
 Co-operating  Together-Submission  overconventional 
 Following  Submission-Together  dependant 
 Retiring  Submission-Against  masochistic 
 Critically Constructive  Against-Submission  Paranoia 
 Demanding  Against-Dominance  Aggressive 
 Manifesting  Dominance-Against  Narcisism
