Abstract

The article aim is to understand the nature of authoritarian leadership. The nature of authoritarianism as a political phenomenon is quite complex and cannot be unequivocally interpreted. Research into authoritarian leadership helps clarify its subjective mechanisms. Notable contributions to the development of authoritarian leadership were made by Wilhelm Reich, Alfred Maslow, scholars from the Frankfurt School Erich Fromm, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse. They have identified a type of personality that predisposes to authoritarianism and seeks power. Such a personality is formed in an unhealthy social environment that generates mass frustrations, neuroses and the desire of man to flee from all this into the sphere of domination and submission.

Keywords: Keywords: Frankfurt School of Leadership, authoritarianism, fascism, "Escape from Freedom" authoritarian character, authoritarian personality, "one-dimensional" society, "one-dimensional" man, "one-dimensional" consciousness.
