Within my recent Positive Psychology studies (yes, another qualification!) I have delved into many areas of interest in relation to life and leadership. One area that has me currently buzzing with thought comes from the field of Transactional Analysis, particularly the concept of ego states, and how it relates to our mahi as leaders. Within Transactional Analysis, the concept of ego states of Parent, Adult and Child speaks about the ego-space from which we may be operating at any given time. Being aware of these spaces not only influences our own self-awareness, it also supports us to understand how one’s ego state can influence others. In leadership, a leader's predominant ego state can significantly affect team members' responses and behaviours, shaping the overall team dynamic. At any given time, we might find ourselves, or consciously choose to operate, from either a Parent, Child, or an Adult state. Each state, or positioning has some behavioural tendencies, which can also provoke certain reciprocal behaviours from others. Furthermore, when aware of our own position, we can also optimise this to support those we lead to level-up their own state. The Adult state is neutral and objective, focused on data, facts, and rational thinking. Leaders operating from this state promote a balanced and fair work environment. They are likely to encourage open communication, critical thinking, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving. This encourages team members to also engage their Adult state, leading to more effective and rational decision-making within the team. The Adult state helps to mediate between the Parent and Child states, creating a stabilising influence that can diffuse potential conflicts and encourage constructive interactions. By modelling Adult behaviours, leaders can help team members develop their own Adult responses, fostering a culture of respect, responsibility, and logical thinking. Matching and Mismatching States: You can intentionally match your ego state to that of your team members to build rapport or deliberately mismatch to redirect the interaction. Awareness and Adaptability: A key aspect of effective leadership is the awareness of your own ego state and the ability to recognise and adapt to the states of others. By being mindful of how your ego state influences your team, you can better manage team dynamics, encourage positive behaviours, and mitigate potential conflicts. Encouraging Growth: You can use your understanding of Transactional Analysis to foster personal and professional growth within your team. This can be particularly helpful if you feel you are doing it all. When we are aware-of, and understand each of these states as leaders, we are then able to lead more consciously and purposefully. We can also start to realise when others may be operating from different states that can pull us into an undesired state, and adapt our own positioning to manage this. Leading is highly complex, and can be like a dance; sometimes a waltz, and other times a tango. In recognising the impact of our own ego state and those of our teams, we are able to create a balanced environment that fosters growth, creativity, and mutual respect. This approach not only enhances individual and team performance but also contributes to a healthier, more supportive workplace culture.

在我最近的积极心理学研究中（是的，又一个资格认证！），我深入探讨了与生活和领导力相关的许多兴趣领域。目前让我思考不已的一个领域来自沟通分析心理学，特别是自我状态的概念，以及它如何与我们作为领导者的工作相关。在沟通分析心理学中，父母、成人和儿童自我状态的概念描述了我们在任何特定时间可能运作的自我空间。意识到这些空间不仅影响我们自身的自我意识，还帮助我们理解一个人的自我状态如何影响他人。在领导力中，领导者的主导自我状态可以显著影响团队成员的回应和行为，塑造整体团队动态。在任何时候，我们可能会发现自己或有意选择从父母、儿童或成人状态中运作。每种状态或定位都有一些行为倾向，也可能引发他人的某些互惠行为。此外，当我们意识到自己的定位时，我们也可以优化这一点，以支持我们领导的人提升他们自己的状态。成人状态是中性和客观的，专注于数据、事实和理性思考。从这种状态运作的领导者促进平衡和公平的工作环境。他们可能鼓励开放沟通、批判性思维和协作解决问题的方法。这鼓励团队成员也参与他们的成人状态，导致团队内更有效和理性的决策。成人状态有助于调解父母和儿童状态，创造一种稳定影响，可以化解潜在冲突并鼓励建设性互动。通过模拟成人行为，领导者可以帮助团队成员发展他们自己的成人回应，培养尊重、责任和逻辑思维的文化。匹配和不匹配状态：你可以有意匹配你的自我状态与团队成员的自我状态以建立融洽关系，或故意不匹配以重定向互动。意识和适应性：有效领导力的一个关键方面是意识到你自己的自我状态，以及识别和适应他人状态的能力。通过注意你的自我状态如何影响你的团队，你可以更好地管理团队动态，鼓励积极行为，并减轻潜在冲突。鼓励成长：你可以利用对沟通分析心理学的理解来促进团队内的个人和职业成长。如果你觉得你在做所有事情，这可能特别有帮助。当我们作为领导者意识到并理解这些状态时，我们就能更有意识和有目的地领导。我们也可以开始意识到他人可能从不同的状态运作，这可能会将我们拉入不想要的状态，并调整我们自己的定位来管理这一点。领导力非常复杂，可以像一场舞蹈；有时是华尔兹，有时是探戈。通过认识到我们自己自我状态和我们团队自我状态的影响，我们能够创造一个促进成长、创造力和相互尊重的平衡环境。这种方法不仅增强个人和团队表现，还促进更健康、更支持性的工作场所文化。
文章概要
本文基于沟通分析心理学理论，探讨了领导力中自我状态（父母、成人、儿童）的概念及其对团队动态的影响。文章重点分析了成人自我状态在促进理性决策、平衡工作环境和化解冲突中的作用，并结合关键词“成人自我状态与时间管理策略”，强调了领导者通过意识、适应性和匹配策略来优化时间管理和团队协作，从而提升领导效能和团队成长。
高德明老师的评价
用12岁初中生可以听懂的语音来重复翻译的内容：这篇文章讲的是，当我们当领导时，心里有三种状态，就像三个小人——一个是像爸爸妈妈一样照顾人的“父母状态”，一个是像小朋友一样爱玩或听话的“儿童状态”，还有一个是像大人一样冷静思考的“成人状态”。文章说，如果领导多用“成人状态”，就是那个冷静思考的小人，就能让团队更公平、更聪明地做决定，还能帮助大家更好地管理时间，一起解决问题，让工作变得更开心和高效。
TA沟通分析心理学理论评价：从沟通分析心理学理论来看，本文精准阐述了自我状态（父母、成人、儿童）在领导力中的应用，特别是成人自我状态作为理性、客观的运作模式，如何促进团队中的平衡互动和有效决策。文章强调了意识、匹配和适应性在领导实践中的重要性，这符合沟通分析心理学中关于自我状态转换和人际沟通的核心原则，展示了理论在现实场景中的实用价值。
在实践上可以应用的领域和可以解决人们的十个问题：在实践上，本文内容可应用于职场领导力发展、团队建设、时间管理和冲突解决等领域。具体可以解决人们的十个问题包括：1. 如何提高团队决策效率；2. 如何减少工作场所冲突；3. 如何优化时间管理策略；4. 如何增强团队成员的自信心；5. 如何促进开放沟通；6. 如何培养批判性思维；7. 如何平衡工作与个人成长；8. 如何应对团队中的依赖行为；9. 如何提升领导者的自我意识；10. 如何创建支持性的组织文化。
