One of the most powerful models for understanding human interaction, communication (and miscommunication or micro-politics) is David Kantor’s Four-Player Model. First published in ‘Inside The Family’ (Kantor/Lehr 1975) the model has helped many people communicate more successfully.
I first met David Kantor at his ‘Structural Dynamics’ Class in Stuttgart, in 1997. Though I had known his model before, I hadn’t fully grasped its depth and impact on the way people understand or misunderstand each other. After his explanations there the model became part of my repertoire in coaching and leadership development and it has proven its value for decades now.
I met David again a few years later in his Kantor Family Institute in Boston, MA, for a private session which brought powerful insights – a session I will not forget.
This short video explains David’s main points on using the model. It is is part of the communication course of deloop Asia’s NavCoach Leadership Platform that guides your leadership development.
