What is Pattern Theory?
A New Approach
The approach integrates leadership, culture, and organisational design theory with psychotherapy theory. It provides a framework for identifying, exploring, and changing ineffective psychological and behavioural patterns in leaders.
Theoretical foundations
Leadership and organisation theory
Chris Argyris’ organisational theory, based on 10,000 business case studies over 50 years, provides the business focus for Pattern Theory.
Psychotherapy theory
The executive coaching principles are grounded in developmental and practical psychotherapy theories including attachment, relational psychodynamics, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
Neuropsychological theory
The Pattern Theory process is informed throughout by neuropsychological theory from leading researchers such as Porges and Schore.
