What's Driving Your Leadership Beneath the Surface?

Uncover the invisible patterns driving your behavior, decisions, and relationships as a leader.

We’re building something different — a course that fills the gap traditional leadership programs leave behind.

Most leadership training focuses on skills and strategy. Ours begins deeper — with the psychology of leadership itself: the inner patterns, fears, and adaptations that quietly shape how you lead, decide, and connect.

By taking the Wounded Leader Assessment, you’ll gain powerful awareness of your own leadership psychology while contributing to the research shaping our Leadership Psychology Framework — the foundation of this new approach to conscious leadership.

Every leader carries unseen wounds—early survival strategies that once protected you but now quietly limit your impact.

This free Wounded Leader Assessment reveals which hidden drivers shape your leadership today—fear of failure, betrayal, exclusion, or not being enough—and how they may be eroding trust, connection, and authenticity.

Every leader carries invisible patterns—early adaptations, fears, and coping strategies—that shape how they lead today. These patterns aren’t flaws; they are survival strategies developed long before you stepped into a leadership role. In fact, these strategies have helped the leader reach great heights in their careers. But what got the leader here, won’t get them there. When these invisible patterns are left unchecked, they can undermine effectiveness, erode trust, and keep you from leading with authenticity.

Each of the following represents a core psychological driver driven by leadership wounds. They represent possible unconscious leadership wounds that may be showing up in your leadership behaviors, decisions, and relationships.

Common Leadership Wounds

  1. Ego-Driven Leader: Fear of Being Unseen
  2.  Controlling Leader: Fear of Betrayal
  3.  Outcome-Obsessed: Fear of Failure
  4.  Defensive Know-It-All Leader: Fear of Being Wrong
  5.  Disrespected Leader: Fear of Dismissal
  6.  Perfectionist Leader: Fear of Not Good Enough
  7.  Overcompensating: Fear of Inadequacy
  8.  People-Pleaser Leader: Fear of Abandonment
  9.  Over-Affiliative Leader: Fear of Exclusion
  10.  Crisis-Driven Leader: Adrenaline Addiction

Leadership wounds result from life experiences, conditioning, and learned survival patterns that continue to haunt our nervous system. This assessment will help guide you towards deeper inner work and leadership identify transformation.
