This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide 4 Archetypes of Self-awareness PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding self-awareness in leadership through a 2x2 matrix that categorizes leaders into 4 archetypes: Introspectors, Seekers, Pleasers, and Aware. The matrix is structured along 2 axes: internal self-awareness and external self-awareness.
Introspectors are defined by high internal self-awareness, but low external self-awareness. They possess a clear understanding of themselves yet may resist seeking feedback, which can hinder their relationships and overall success. Seekers, on the other hand, exhibit low internal self-awareness and low external self-awareness. They struggle to identify their own values and how they are perceived by others, often feeling stuck in their roles and relationships.
The Aware archetype represents leaders who have both high internal and external self-awareness. They understand their goals and actively seek feedback, allowing them to leverage insights from others effectively. This group is positioned to realize the full benefits of self-awareness, enhancing their leadership capabilities. Finally, Pleasers are characterized by high external self-awareness, but low internal self-awareness. They focus excessively on how they are perceived, potentially neglecting their own needs and values, which can lead to choices that do not serve their long-term success.
The slide emphasizes that each archetype has unique opportunities for improvement. This insight is crucial for organizations aiming to develop their leaders, as it highlights the importance of fostering both internal and external self-awareness to enhance leadership effectiveness. Understanding these archetypes can guide targeted development initiatives and coaching strategies.
This slide is part of the 4 Archetypes of Self-awareness PowerPoint presentation.
