Leadership Fluency: Four Distinct Roles, One Leadership Practice
Andrea Mignolo
Executive and Team Coach
From unconscious habit to conscious choice across four leadership modes.
You know you need to lead—set vision, drive outcomes, build systems, develop people. But when you try to hold all of this at once, it blurs together. You're unclear about where your time actually goes versus where it should go.
This workshop brings clarity to your leadership role by giving you a framework for mapping your entire leadership landscape. You'll articulate your purpose and vision, identify the outcomes you're driving and the people you're developing, and see how your activities distribute across four distinct modes: leading (sharing vision with people), directing (connecting vision to outcomes), managing (structuring work), and coaching (developing capacity).
Through guided solo work and structured reflection, you'll create a complete map of your leadership practice—an honest assessment of where your time and energy currently go. You'll identify gaps, recognize patterns, and understand what needs to shift.
You'll leave with clarity on what your work actually requires and how to accomplish it across these four overlapping roles.

Testimonials
I loved having an actual framework rather than the four years of improvising I've been doing in a management role. The four quadrants helped me see which skills I need to develop, and distinguishing between facts and stories made me realize how much I've been centering stories rather than facts.
