Mr. Voras Ego-state

Analysis

An ego state may be defined as an organized system of behaviour and

experience, whose elements are bound together by common principle.
Revising Freud's concept of the human psyche as composed of the id, ego, and superego, Berne postulated in addition three "ego states"the Parent, Adult, and Child
stateswhich were largely shaped through childhood experiences. These three are all
part of Freud's ego; none represent the id or the superego.
For Berne the ego states are not roles but are phenomenological realities.
Each ego state is concerned with what actually happened in the past for that
person and how they acted will determine how they act in the here and now.
The decisions that they made then will determine the decisions and behaviours
they now make in the present.

Parent ("exteropsyche)
Adult ("neopsyche)
Child ("archaeopsyche)
Nurturing- Nurturing (positive) and Spoiling (negative).
Controlling- Structuring (positive) and Critical (negative).

Adapted- Co-operative (positive) and Compliant/Resistant (negative).

Free- Spontaneous (positive) and Immature (negative).

Specifics of Mr. Voras

Ego-States

Relying on several factors as Behaviour, Perception, Experience and

Social transaction cited, we can classify his dominant and underdeveloped Ego-States.
Based on the nature of job he is involved in i.e. teaching, mentoring and coordinating training activities, the primary Ego-State evident is Parent.
Additionally, based on the behaviour and attitude of his, towards the entire
batch that joins for training and development in their program, we may
further classify the dominant ego-state to be Nurturing Parent.
The Nurturing Parent is caring and concerned and often may appear as a mother-figure.
They seek to keep the Child contented, offering a safe haven and unconditional love to calm
the Child's troubles.
The ego-state which can easily be termed as under-developed in the highlycompassionate nature of Mr. Vohra is Controlling Parent.
The Controlling (or Critical) Parent, on the other hand, tries to make the Child do as the
parent wants them to do, perhaps transferring values or beliefs or helping the Child to
understand and live in society. They may also have negative intent, using the Child as a
whipping-boy or worse.

Ego-gram for Mr.

Vora

An Egogram allows to establish the structure of the personality from 3

Ego-States, elements of the structure of our personality which built
themselves from childhood. The Egogram allows to distinguish
the dominant states from which we behave, react,
communicate. The Egogram generally comes in the form of a
questionnaire. It reflects how we perceive someone.
Relative Values

Problems Mr. Vora faced

using his managerial
style

1. As Vora was the coordinator of the program he should have been more

commanding in his style of functioning, from Day 1 when Mr. . Advani changed
his seating position he should have asked him not to repeat the same as it is
against the principle of class.
2. He should have been more pro-active in solving the problem of participants

related to classroom teaching and should have planned extra sessions for them
incase they faced any problems.
3. He should have been democratic in his decision making approach and should

have taken the consent of all participants before zeroing on any decision
4. Before allowing Mr.Advani for the conference of Bank Chiefs he should have

taken into consideration the request of other participants also and should have
tried to shift the conference to some other location where all participants can be
accommodated any the above arrangement was not possible then he should not
have allowed Mr.Advani also for the conference. By allowing Advani a wrong
message was sent across other participants and this resulted in a chain of other
events that folowed like people not coming to the knowledge sharing session.

Suggest ways in
which Vora could
effectively use his
style?
Affiliative style should not be used solely
Different situations demand different
reactions
Seating according to alphabetical order
Authoritative
Feedback- Participative
