## Resource

This is the second in our five part series on the four leadership types, and this one explains why the most confident person in the room might also be the most insecure. The same thing that makes a leader charismatic and well liked is the same thing that gives them more imposter syndrome than any other leadership type. In this episode you'll learn; - What actually drives a Visionary Influencer, and why their need to be liked is connected to a confidence that looks effortless from the outside - The specific reason Visionary Influencers experience more imposter syndrome than any other leadership type, and why it gets worse the more successful they become - Why a Visionary Influencer says yes to everything, and what is really happening when they consistently overcommit and run late - How to get a Visionary Influencer on board with an idea, and the one thing you should never lead with if you want their buy in - Why Visionary Influencers avoid difficult conversations longer than any other type, and what that costs their team over time TAKE THE QUIZ rmichaelanderson.com/leadershipquiz YOUR CHALLENGE: This week, identify whether you recognize yourself in the Visionary Influencer, or whether someone in your life fits this, and if it is you, pick one thing you have said yes to that you do not have the bandwidth for and either follow through properly or let it go, and if it is someone else, lead with the big picture before the details and notice how differently the conversation goes.
