Lead Each Person: Know Your Team So Difficult Conversations Become Rare

Leslie Ferry

Lead each person the way they're wired

4 weeks to lead each person so issues get handled while they're small

You know what you need to say. The hard part is saying it so each person hears it and acts on it.

The feedback that motivates one person shuts another down. The direction that gives one person clarity makes another anxious. Your detailed questions can read as distrust, and your push for results can read as not caring. With bigger teams, leading everyone the same way no longer works.

In four weeks, you'll learn to lead each person the way they're wired: build trust in the form they recognize, and give clear guidance, snackable feedback, and clear accountability. Issues get handled while they're small, so difficult conversations become rare.

Every week you'll practice with your real team and bring back what happened. The course builds on Leslie Ferry's book The Career Edge. You don't need to have taken the workshop. Week 1 starts with the four work styles.

What you’ll learn

Lead each person the way they're wired, so issues get handled while they're small and difficult conversations become rare.

  • What each work style needs to feel clear: the reasoning, the details, the human impact, or the bottom line

  • How to deliver the same direction in different forms so each person understands it the first time

  • How each style recognizes ability, integrity, and care, and what counts as proof for each

  • How to start rebuilding trust that has slipped, one small action at a time

  • How to give snackable feedback and set clear accountability so issues never build up

  • How to coach judgment through questions, and prepare for the conversations that are still needed
