Are You Leading From Your Strengths Or Your Struggles?

Howdy ,

Yesterday, I shared the 4 leadership archetypes.

Today, I want to help you identify which one energizes you most.

Here's a quick exercise:

Think about the last time you felt truly energized while leading your team. Not just successful – energized. Like you were in your element.

Now ask yourself:

Were you...

1. Inspiring the team with a big vision and getting them excited about possibilities? (Rock Star)
2. Having a deep conversation that got to the heart of an issue and created real transformation? (Bridge Builder)
3. Teaching or explaining something complex in a way that made everything click? (Ideator)
4. Introducing a new approach or challenging the way things had always been done? (Innovator)

Your answer points to your primary leadership type.

Now think about a recent time when leadership felt draining – even if you got results.

I'm willing to bet you were operating outside your natural style.

How would you like to be like a department head who discovers: "I realized I'd been trying to be the visionary leader for two years. No wonder I was exhausted. I'm naturally an Innovator – I come alive when I'm solving problems and creating new solutions."

Which type feels most natural to you?

Keep winning at work and in life.
