This study synthesizes leadership theory, personality psychology, and organizational lifecycle models through the prism of Squid Game’s geometric hierarchy. We propose a four-archetype system consisting of TWIST, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, and SQUARE archetypes that align Big Five personality dimensions with leadership behaviors across individual, team, and corporate developmental stages. Empirical validation draws from neuroimaging studies, behavioral leadership frameworks, and longitudinal corporate analyses to demonstrate how archetype-stage mismatches precipitate organizational dysfunction. By mapping these archetypes to distinct phases of organizational evolution, we provide a comprehensive framework for leadership selection, development, and succession planning that transcends traditional competency models.
