Monthly Leadership Series
We release a new leadership series every month, and we’ll update this page as new series become available.
The New Leader (coming soon!)
Becoming a leader means learning an entirely different job. This New Leader series is built for first-time managers who want to lead people well and find their footing in the role. We’ll start with a 5-day challenge covering the biggest sticking points new leaders face, from difficult conversations to self-doubt to figuring out what your team actually needs from you – and how your personality influences it all. After the challenge, we’ll dive into personality-based Role articles exploring one of the hardest leadership shifts there is: going from someone’s peer to their leader.
Mastering 1:1 Meetings
Most leaders know 1:1 meetings matter – but few feel great about how theirs are going. This mastering 1:1 meetings series is here to change that. Start with a 5-day challenge addressing the real questions and frustrations leaders face around 1:1s, then go deeper into how personality type influences everything – how you run them, what your team members need from them, and why the same approach doesn’t work for everyone. This series delivers the tools you need to turn 1:1s into something both you and your team actually look forward to.

Day 3: How to Deliver Hard Feedback in a 1:1 Meeting When You Hate Confrontation
Day 4: What to Do When Your Team Member Isn’t Engaged in the 1:1 Meeting
A Leadership Reset
The same qualities that make you a good leader – the sense of responsibility, the high standards, the attunement to what your team needs – can also make it surprisingly hard to take care of yourself. This leadership reset series helps you see where you might be quietly getting in your own way when it comes to self-care, and what sustainable leadership actually looks like for your personality type. Find 16 articles – one for each personality type – covering self-sabotage patterns and strategies to help you find your way back to balance.

Leading Multigenerational Teams
Leading across generations gets a lot easier when you understand what’s driving the differences on your team. This leading multigenerational teams series walks leaders through how Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers tend to show up as subordinates, colleagues, and managers – and where friction quietly builds. Plus, explore how each personality Role shows up differently across generations – and how to lead them well.

Introverted Leadership
If you've ever left a long meeting feeling completely drained while everyone else seemed energized, you know what it's like to lead as an Introvert. This Introverted leadership series helps you lead powerfully in your own quiet way, without performing or pretending. The 5-Day Challenge walks you through thought reframes that help you see your reserved presence as a strength, not a weakness. Then, we tackle specific Introvert challenges, like being talked over in meetings, feeling exhausted from “acting Extraverted” all day, and finding ways to assert authority without matching the volume in the room.

You’ll learn how to help new hires get the lay of the land, create early wins, and define success at 30/60/90 days.
