At a Glance
Magistrate Strengths
- • Sees through noise to find the actual structure of a problem—you're the one who says 'here's what's really going on'
- • Holds fairness and logic together, making decisions that people respect even when they disagree
- • Natural mediator: you can hear three conflicting stories and find the thread that connects them
Custodian Strengths
- • Provides the kind of leadership people actually trust—steady, principled, and accountable
- • Uses authority to protect the vulnerable rather than serve your own ego
- • Builds things that last: teams, systems, traditions that survive your absence
