Summary
▶︎ #153 | Q2 Kickoff Done. So Why Isn't Anyone Moving? In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Aleksandra Lemańska tackles one of the most quietly frustrating moments in a tech leader's calendar: you've done the kickoff, shared the roadmap, set the goals, and the team still isn't moving. No one is refusing. But the energy is flat, some people are waiting for more clarity, others have already gone off in their own direction, and you're standing there wondering what went wrong. Alex's answer: Nothing is wrong with your goals. The problem is that you delivered one message, the same way, to people who are fundamentally wired differently. And that's exactly what the Process Communication Model® (PCM®), a core pillar of the CQ Leadership Method, is designed to solve. She walks through four PCM® patterns that most visibly surface in tech teams at the start of a new quarter: the person who needs process and structure before they can move; the big-picture thinker who's already gone off-script because the vision wasn't compelling enough; the team member who needs human connection before they can engage with any direction; and the action-oriented person who's frustrated that you're still talking about the quarter instead of starting it. Same goal. Four completely different activation needs. If you've ever presented a perfect plan to a team that responded with polite silence, this episode explains why and what to do instead. ✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanska TikTok: @aleksandra_lemanska X: @lemanskills Startup Community Poznan: @startup-community-poznan-scp www.lemanskills.com Join Leadership Pulse! https://lemanskills.com/pulse/
