Leaders’ mental models influence
others and their organization
Our research shows that leaders’ mental models
affect both the organization’s health and their
employees’ experience of working for them.
Your mental model influences your behavior.
Even without defining “Abundance” mental
model, most people have an understanding or
assumption of what it means.
Reflect: what do you think of when you hear
“abundance mental model?” “Scarcity mental
model?”

Let’s see what you think about a few
leaders we know…

➔ Which are abundance leaders? Scarcity?
➔ What behaviors associated with these leaders make
you think of them as “Abundance” oriented
or “Scarcity” oriented?

How do they measure on the
abundance-scarcity spectrum?
Abundance behaviors

Thinks in the long-term and the big picture
Seeks out feedback and receives it with openness,
and willingly learns from mistakes
Proactively shares as much information as possible

abundance-scarcity spectrum?
Scarcity behaviors

Is easily offended but also prone to give offense
easily

others
Some behaviors appear in both models…

cognitive or technical intelligence

Power is shareable
Information should be shared

Leaders with an Abundance mental model…
 Have healthier organizations
 Better conflict resolution
 Better communication patterns
 Better team work

Conflict resolution: how well is conflict addressed?
Sense of hierarchy: how appropriately hierarchical is
the organization?
Teamwork and camaraderie
Timeliness of decision-making
Decision-making processes

Behaviors naturally group into
four competency clusters
Our proprietary 360-degree survey evaluates leaders by
collecting data from subordinates, peers and bosses.
Results are reported on an Abundance-Scarcity
continuum.
Through our research we identified...
