Understanding Your Leadership Style
Every executive has a default style, the one that shows up under pressure before judgment does. This course names the four common styles, what each one buys and costs you when you lead leaders, and how to find your own default so you can start choosing instead of reacting.

How a lesson works
Each lesson is about five minutes, the slides with Andreas narrating, or audio only on your phone between meetings. It opens on one situation at the executive level, teaches one tool, and closes with your move: one thing to do before the next lesson. The full written lesson sits under the player, so you can read instead, or go back for the exact sentence you want to use.
Created and narrated by Andreas Pettersson. The narration uses an AI model of Andreas's own voice.
