1 Insight From Me

Book: "Games People Play" by Eric Berne

In Games People Play, Eric Berne uncovers the psychological games we unconsciously engage in, which shape how we interact with others. He introduces three personas—Parent, Adult, and Child—that govern our behavior in relationships. The Parent represents authority and rules; the Adult is rational and problem-solving; and the Child is emotional, spontaneous, and creative. Recognizing which persona is active in a conversation can help break free from limiting patterns and encourage more authentic, productive exchanges.

For example, in a team meeting, if a colleague takes on the Parent role in a negative way—criticizing ideas and stifling creativity—you can step into your Adult persona to redirect the conversation, saying something like, “Let’s explore these ideas first before we dismiss them.” This encourages a more open, creative environment and helps stop the limiting behavior from taking over.
