Daniel Ofman's Core Qualities Quadrants
Daniel Ofman's Core Qualities Quadrants
Probably the most useful tool I use both explicitly and implicitly in coaching conversations. Daniel Offman’s model rarely fails to enlighten an individual about their risks and opportunities to improve relationships with others. And, to develop skills that complement their core qualities.
We can use this tool to better interpret the intentions of another person. Imagine my colleague is displaying a 'pitfall' behavior, I can infer from that they are manifesting an excessive form of one of their core qualities, but maybe feeling under stress. So my colleague who appears to be expressing only fault finding in a project is in fact expressing perhaps attention to detail or anticipation of challenges. I can then bring to them the idea of looking for solutions to answer their legitimate concerns. By doing so I validate their core quality and support their contribution to the team.
I often think of this model as if I'm flying a plane. Too much to the right or to the left and I start to fly in circles, just the right balance of the two and I make good progress in a straight line to my destination.
