Abstract
Research indicates that manipulation of subordinates by their superiors occurs because of the structure of the superior-subordinate relationship. Subordinates must recognize and resolve eight dilemmas of self-protection derived from the theory of individual development (formulated by Erik Erikson), which arise in a hierarchical organization. A superior who displays qualities of introspection, empathy, preparedness, commitment, and hope will be able to discuss the dilemmas with the subordinate and aid in the resolution of problems.
