About the Solutions

Overview

Carl Jung and others saw that inside every human being is a feminine and masculine potential (yin
and yang, anima and animus) and a static and dynamic potential. When we marry these four
potentials together, 4 archetypes of human behaviour emerge:
Medicine Woman (Dynamic, Feminine), Great Mother (Static, Feminine), Sovereign (Static,
Masculine), and the Warrior (Dynamic, Masculine). Once we are aware of these four styles, we
can reflect on how well established each archetype is in our own leadership and then develop a
practice to strengthen our weakest areas. This will make us more able to respond creatively and
appropriately to whatever situation presents itself.

The challenge

As leaders, we tend to operate in one style ­ a style that we know well, that others praise us for
and that has been appropriate to the roles we have played so far. We might be unaware that other
styles of leadership are not only appropriate as well, but could serve bette

fulfilled,they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao Tzu
