At a Glance
Maverick Strengths
- • Makes the call when everyone else is frozen—you're the one who says 'enough talking, here's what we're doing'
- • Reads the room like a chessboard: who has influence, who's bluffing, what's actually at stake
- • Turns vague ambitions into concrete outcomes; you don't just dream, you execute
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
