Nomad

The nomad is someone with an almost unquenchable thirst to keep expanding their mental horizons. Among the individuals at a leadership level in an organization, the nomad is a very interesting archetype.

As with the general meaning of the word, the nomad archetype is a constant explorer. But rather than driven by a need to find an ultimate destination, the nomad’s journey is driven by an innate urge. The curious fact is that when an organization goes through a transformation, the nomad uses this phase as an opportunity to expand their horizons.

Pioneer

Pioneers are not necessarily the adventurous ones in an organization, but they are the ones who are diligent in doing something that has never been done before.

Sympathy

No man is an island. The necessity to connect with others, and the ability to feel for each other- these are aspects of being human.

Discernment

In an ocean of distractions, how to keep sailing in the right direction, without losing focus? In a world where things move at the speed of ‘too fast per second’, when you must keep running or get left behind, how to ensure thoughts that flood from all directions don’t drown your vision? These are questions everyone grapples with in the twenty first century

Aesthetic

There is an old saying that the path you take to reach a destination is as important as the destination itself. Whether you buy into that philosophy or not, it certainly helps explain the meaning of the word ‘aesthetic’ as used by Temenos.

Employee Archetypes- How To Discover The One That Defines You

To define, to categorise, to put something fluid in a container so it would have a defined shape, so to speak- it’s a common method we humans use to understand things.
