Answer-D

The narcissistic personality, the theme of Maccoby’s book on visionary leaders, receives no guidance, as do the other three types. Maccoby stressed the need to clearly set the narcissist apart from egotistical or egoistic people. The narcissist is not vain and does not attempt to impress, but takes pride in and will talk about actual accomplishments. In fact, Maccoby pointed out that one of the important characteristics of the narcissist is humor, which is most often self-directed. On the positive side, the narcissist has a clear vision of what to do and does not take into account what other people say or do in the pursuit of that vision.
