Tuesday Information and Education – Erik Erikson, an original protégé of Sigmund Freud and one of the most influential psychologists of the twentieth century, proposed that we all move through eight predictable stages of growth and development. Each stage presents a challenge with a potentially positive outcome and a potentially disastrous outcome. If one resolves the challenge at each stage, one can then move on to the next stage. Failure at any stage, however, results in difficulty getting beyond that stage. The worst case would be a dramatic failure to achieve a basic sense of trust in infancy, since that would prevent one from achieving satisfactory resolutions at any stage beyond infancy. In general, having resolved the challenges of life relative to one’s age prepares one for potentially effective leadership of those who have not necessarily moved on to later stages. One interesting feature of Erikson’s stages is that the age ranges for the challenges in the later years have expanded due to expansion in the life expectancy of human beings in the third millennium.
