Introduction
This mini-book aims to summarise the key traits of the six
classic character types, or archetypes as Carl Jung called
them, that form the foundation of the Team Me approach to
self development.
Everyone has the potential to exhibit every one of these
Archetypes, though n reality we naturally express some more
than others.
Understanding these archetypes will help us gain a much
greater degree of self-awareness and help us identify and
address the issues that have been holding us back in life.
Its important too that we recognise not only the positive traits
of the mature archetypes, but also the characteristic shadow
sides that each can exhibit.
Every archetype displays very specific behaviours when it
overheats or freezes - that is, when it operates with either too
much energy, or not enough energy.
In the Overheated state, the character launches into excessive
expression. In their Frozen state the individual acts as if they
are incapable of accessing the traits of the archetype, justifying
their inaction with a multitude of reasons. Neither state is
helpful for either ourselves or those around us.

As we develop a greater awareness of these archetypes we can

also gain significant insights into the motivations of others in
our lives whether socially or professionally. We can often
anticipate the responses well get from others and also help us
create more effective teams.
So, if you want people to respond to you differently in life, use
these summaries to identify which of these archetypes you
would need to express more of and which you may need to
tone down a little - to gain the response you desire.

For to be free is not merely to cast off

one's chains, but to live in a way that
respects and enhances the freedom of
others.
Nelson Mandela.
