Beyond Temperament: Building Leaders with a Template-Based Approach

In today's episode, we’re diving deep into something that’s been absolutely revolutionary for me in over two decades of leadership development, and I think it could be for you too.

 

If you’ve ever hired someone and later thought, “What was I thinking?”—you’re not alone. The truth is, most leaders pick people based on temperament—how charismatic or extroverted they are—and hope that’ll translate into great leadership. But here’s the thing: that approach is flawed, and it can lead to some serious misses.

 

Mark and I sit down to talk about why building your team around temperament can cause inconsistency, bias, and missed opportunities. Instead, we introduce a shift—a template-based model that’s all about aligning your team with your vision and scaling leadership development across your entire organization.

 

I’m really excited about this conversation because we’re not just talking theory here. We’re giving you practical insights and a tool we’ve developed called the Identity Fear Quotient (IFQ) that can help you put this approach into action.

 

So, if you’re ready to rethink how you develop leaders and build a team that’s secure, clear, and ready to move your mission forward, this episode is for you.
