LESSON 7,1

The bridge to success Knowing everyones: "Key Performance Role."

FACTS

Humans are pack animals, and have always sought together in families, tribes, and nations. Within each group, “opposites attract,” “like seeks like,” and “birds of a feather flock together” people have naturally formed friendships and alliances. These bonds can be strong and long-lasting.
In traditional organisations with clear hierarchies, such alliances often appeared as sub-groups known as “games”, “families,” “camaraderie,” “freemasonry,” or “secret boys’ clubs.”

FEELINGS

In today’s global society, the hidden power plays out in encrypted echo chambers or exposed through  platforms, like LinkedIn ect. In project-based organisations, this is not only accepted but expected: Personal networks are the real key. Trust-based alliances cut across formal structures, bringing people together to get things done. In the end, success often comes down to “knowing someone who knows someone”—and to the chemistry that binds people together.

FORECAST

In a world where AI screens résumés and tests your skills, the real test begins face to face. – That’s when you must show who you truly are—because the systems already know everything else.
In those moments, bridges built on trust, competence, and respect decide whether opportunities open or close.
The future belongs to those – who want a lot –
and who accept change, build bridges, and grow strong networks.

Secret: 7

Are you Warrior or helper?

  • Role? – Rescuer / Helper
    (Strength and Shadow functions)

  • Language? –  Dominant natural “Communication color”-

  • Decisions? –  Color risk profile /
    Practice in difficult
    decision-making situations.

  • Focus? – Your Basic Values
    and preferred ethical model.

Can you identify who is the Warrior
and who is the Helper in this figure?

Chemistry Beats Everything

There’s an old saying: “Show me the manager, and I’ll show you the department.” The same holds true for political committees, project teams, and organizations of every kind. The leader sets the tone—values, goals, workplace culture, and results all flow from that one person.
So, who should the leader be? First of all, someone qualified—both professionally and personally. But competence alone is not enough. The leader must burn for the task, whether it’s running stable operations in a “whale organization,” or driving continuous innovation in a “flock of birds” organization ( LESSON 3,1 ) built on research and development.- Within this landscape, four leadership profiles stand out.
The Warriors—Rock and Knight—thrive in production and transformation settings,
where survival depends on strength and strategy. – The Helpers: Bishop and Pawn—complement them.
Bishops support Knights by creating trust, relationships, and smooth communication.
Pawns, on the other hand, act as finishers and doers, ensuring concrete results through structure and discipline.
Each of these profiles carries two faces: a Position Profile (F) or a Competence Profile (B) LESSON 2,3 — revealing what the leader truly prefers to work with.
Interestingly: The ideal partner is almost always the person with whom they also have the best personal chemistry, which means those who share their axis, and balancing out each other’s shadows.

Personal chemistry and group chemistry depend on the exchange of strong qualities. That is why the Strength/Shadow axis is so important. When one complements the other, the interaction becomes exciting and good. A “compass” for orienting yourself can be as follows.

ROCK / Blue / Warrior /
Analytical / Rational  – “Head person”)

I am usually rational and think with my head. I tend to see either the big picture (“the forest”) or the details (“the trees”), but not both at the same time.
  • If I see mostly the big picture, I feel a strong need to understand and make sense of things.
    If I see mostly the details, I develop a strong sense of justice and a need for perfection.
As an ideal partner, I prefer yellow colleagues who bring enthusiasm and closeness, acting as diplomats with team qualities I may lack because I’m too focused on action.

BISHOP / Red / Helper / Sensing / Social – “Heart person”)

I usually social and think with my heart. I look for renewal and welcome new ideas.
  • When I see opportunities, I feel a strong need to be useful, successful, or needed.
  • I make choices based on the present situation or by seeing how everything fits together.
As an ideal partner, I prefer purple visionary colleagues who see the future arrives. I’m inspired by their creative solutions and their ability to be ahead of their time.

KNIGHT / Purple / Warrior / Intuitive / Impulsive  – “Innovativ person”)

I am often intuitiv and an innovator and sometimes like a rebel.
  • I can be unorthodox, individualistic, and critical of systems.
  • My drive comes from a deep belief that “what is good for me should also be good for the world” or from my need to be different.
As an ideal partner, I prefer red colleagues who are changemakers and idealistic, able to bring ideas into the here-and-now-situation.

PAWN / Yellow / Structural / Creative  – “ Emosjonal Gut person”)

I usually act from my gut.
  • Sometimes I appear structured, other times more open and creative and imaginative.
    My need for security is balanced either through correct behaviour and safety decision-making, or through openness to deeper energy and honesty.
As an ideal partner, I prefer blue structured colleagues who need my help to analyze, organize, and carry out reforms, they support. I value their firmness, resilience, and ability to stand up for their goals.
