Solution:

1. Critical parent ego
2. Adapted child ego
3. Natural child ego
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1. Critical Parent Ego State
When you behave and respond with evaluative responses that are critical, judgmental, opinionated, demanding, disapproving, disciplining, and so on, you are in critical parent ego state. People in the critical parent ego use a lot of do’s and don’ts. Managers using the autocratic style tend to be in critical parent ego state because they use high task/directive behaviour

2. Adopted Child Ego State
When you behave with confronting responses that express rebelliousness, pouting, anger, fear, anxiety, inadequacy, procrastination, blaming others, and so on, you are in adapted child ego state. Managers should avoid behaving from the adapted child ego state because this type of behavior often leads to the employee becoming emotional and behaving in a similar manner. When managers are transacting with an employee in this ego state, they should not react with similar behavior, but should be in the adult ego state.

3. Natural Child Ego State
When you behave and respond with probing responses that shows curiosity, intimacy, fun, joyfulness, fantasy, impulsiveness, and so on, you are in natural child ego state. Successful managers do not tend to continuously operate from the natural child ego state
