Arhetype: The Reluctant Leader

⚠ Is this really you?

You are reading a diagnosis for The Reluctant Leader, but without your assessment data, this is just a guess.

The Hard Truth

Leadership isn't a personality trait; it's a skillset. Right now, you're trying to lead using 'Expert' tools instead of 'Leader' tools. It’s like trying to tighten a screw with a hammer.

Symptoms & Indicators

The Diagnosis

You earned this role because you were great at the work (Sales, Code, Ops), but now you miss doing it.

Primary Indicator

"You prioritized 'Culture' over 'Accountability'. This creates a 'Nice' culture, not a 'Winning' one."

Risk Level

High Potential, Low Toolkit

From the book "The New Leadership Landscape"

The Expert-to-Leader Transition

"I've seen it constantly: A top salesperson becomes VP of Sales and struggles. Why? Because the skills that made them a great 'Doer' (autonomy, speed, individual grit) are often opposite to what makes a great Leader (patience, delegation, team focus). You aren't failing; you're just using the wrong toolkit."

The Prescription

Build your Leadership Operating System. Learn to hold people accountable without being a 'jerk'.

Your One Action Step

The 'Monday Meeting Shift': Stop asking 'What are you working on?' (Micro-management). Start asking 'Where are you stuck?' (Blocker removal).
