Leadership Types (1 of 5): The Dominant Commander

This is the first in a five part series on the four leadership types, and understanding this one might explain the most powerful, or the most difficult, person in your organization, possibly you.

It is not about being seen as the winner. It is an internal drive to win and to be in control, and left unmanaged, that drive quietly turns into bullying.

In this episode you'll learn;

- What actually drives a Dominant Commander beneath the surface, and why it has almost nothing to do with needing to be seen as right or in charge

- The specific blind spot that turns a Dominant Commander's biggest strength into their biggest liability with their team

- How to work with a Dominant Commander so they move quickly and trust you, instead of feeling like you are slowing them down or trying to control them

- Why challenging a Dominant Commander directly is often the fastest way to earn their respect, and how to do it without it backfiring

- How to find out your own leadership type in under two minutes, and why understanding it changes how you read every difficult interaction you have

YOUR CHALLENGE:

This week, identify whether you recognize yourself in the Dominant Commander, or whether there is someone in your life who fits this, and if it is you, notice one moment where your drive to get things done might be moving faster than the people around you and give someone the headline before the details, and if it is someone else, get straight to the point with them and notice what happens.
