A leader with a history of hard work, strong ethics and proven results.

Challenges: Overwhelmed by demands; Struggles to get resources; Limited direction from above

Passionate and innovative, this leader believes work can and should be better for both organisations and people.

They aspire to be the kind of inspirational, people-first leader they wished they had. Yet, without strong role models or practical experience to draw upon, they sometimes swing between being too hands-off and slipping into unhelpful control under pressure.

They are searching for ways to turn vision into consistent, impactful action.

Strengths: Visionary & Innovative; Growth Oriented; Aspires to Inspire

Challenges: Inconsistent application; Lacks role models; Relapses under pressure

Respected for their unwavering commitment to quality, this leader has built their career on attention to detail and the ability to refine and perfect the work of others.

Often promoted into people leadership as recognition for past success, they may lack both the skills and the desire for this type of role.

Their perfectionism, once a strength, can unintentionally disempower their team and create bottlenecks, while also making it hard for them to ask for support.

Strengths: Unyielding Commitment to Quality; Diligent & Detail-Oriented; Strong Work Ethic

Challenges: Creates bottlenecks; Inadvertently Disempowers Team; Hesitant to seek support

Trusted by senior leaders and valued for their results-driven focus, this leader communicates effectively and inspires others when working toward a vision they believe in.

In their current interim role, however, they are tasked with delivering someone else’s agenda as a stepping stone toward their own future ambitions.

This compromises their motivation and authenticity, leaving their team without the clarity and energy needed to progress.

Strengths: Trusted & Influential; Results driven; Skilled communicator (when inspired)

Challenges: Inconsistent Motivation; Compromised Authenticity; Creates Team Confusion

This leader can communicate an inspiring vision and is adept at influencing outcomes and removing barriers.

Yet, their deep concern for how they are perceived can make it difficult for them to fully empower others or share credit.

Their focus on protecting their accomplishments sometimes leads to mixed messaging, leaving their teams uncertain about priorities, limiting progress.

Strengths: Articulates Vision clearly; Strategic Influencer; Removes Systemic Impediments

Challenges: Self-serving focus; Inconsistent Messaging; Limited Empowerment

A seasoned and successful leader, recently promoted or moved into a new environment, they embrace growth and improvement.

Their fresh perspective allows them to challenge norms and drive change.

However, internal and external expectations that they should have all the answers can make them reluctant to seek support. This can leave them blindsided by the hidden complexities of transition and vulnerable to setting unrealistic expectations for themselves and others.

Strengths: Seasoned & successful; Growth oriented; Ambitious & well-intentioned

Challenges: Hesitant to seek support; Struggles with systemic awareness; Unrealistic Expectations

A leader who embodies transformation through curiosity, a growth mindset and a commitment to excellence.

They are innovative problem-solvers; laser-focused on making things better.

Yet, their candid style and difficulty adapting communication to different audiences can unintentionally create fear or resistance, especially within the traditional systems that most need their vision.

Strengths: Innovative problem solver; Embraces growth & experimentation; Exemplifies work-life balance

Challenges: Communication gaps; Struggles to articulate why; System rejects their Candour 

Highly knowledgeable and confident in their domain, this leader has earned respect as a trusted expert and mentor to others in their field.

Their depth of experience is a real asset, yet a strong sense of self-belief can sometimes entrench a fixed mindset.

This may cause them to undervalue diverse perspectives, resist new approaches and closely tie their identity to their expertise and current role.

Strengths: Deep Domain Expertise; Effective Expert Mentor; Confident & Assured

Challenges: Identity tied to Role; Undervalues Diverse Perspectives; Resistance to New Approaches

An ethical and human-centred leader, the Compassionate Performer inspires and nurtures those around them to do their best.

Their success often depends on the backing of senior leaders who share their ethical perspective.

Strengths: Ethical & Human-Centred; Inspiring & Nurturing; Values-Driven

Challenges: Vulnerable in Misaligned Environments; Political Navigation Challenges; Requires Ethical Senior Leadership
