Senior Leaders' Hidden Pressures: Understanding Schemas and Modes
Senior leaders often face counterproductive behaviors from their teams under pressure. Daniela Aneva, an OD Consultant and Executive Coach at MentorsPro, explores this issue in her Netflix series. She delves into 'schemas', deeply held beliefs that can distort leaders' perceptions and decisions. The first schema discussed is Abandonment/Instability, which predicts that key relationships or conditions won't hold.
Under strain, schemas trigger 'modes' - rapid state shifts like the 'vulnerable child', coping modes (detached/avoidant, surrender or overcompensation), and 'parent' modes (punitive or demanding). When leaders flip modes, they may distort signals and clamp down, comply, or bulldoze. Aneva's Netflix series provides tools like a Trigger Diary and Mode Pattern-Breaking Worksheet to help leaders recognize and manage these modes. It covers 18 frequently observed schemas, offering practical guidance for sustainable leadership habits.
Aneva's Netflix series is a practical guide for senior leaders to understand and manage counterproductive behaviors under pressure. By exploring schemas and providing tools for recognition and management, the series aims to help leaders build sustainable habits that move their businesses forward.
