Leadership Types (4 of 5): The Supportive Collaborator

This is the fourth in our five part series on the four leadership types, and this one explains why the most trusted person on your team might be carrying the most unspoken tension.

The same instinct that makes someone the glue of their team is the instinct that keeps them quiet when something actually needs to be said.

In this episode you'll learn;

- What actually drives a Supportive Collaborator, and why harmony matters to them in a way that goes far deeper than just being nice

- The specific reason Supportive Collaborators struggle the most with accountability conversations, and why avoiding them costs more than having them

- How to work with a Supportive Collaborator so they feel safe enough to tell you what they actually think instead of what they think you want to hear

- Why Supportive Collaborators are often overlooked for leadership roles despite being some of the most respected people on the team, and what changes that

- The one self promotion shift that helps a Supportive Collaborator be seen for the value they already bring without it feeling fake or uncomfortable

YOUR CHALLENGE:

This week, identify whether you recognize yourself in the Supportive Collaborator, or whether someone in your life fits this, and if it is you, identify the one conversation you have been avoiding because it might disrupt the harmony and have it this week, and if it is someone else, ask them directly what they think and create the space for them to actually say it.
