Ever felt like you’re wearing someone else’s leadership suit? In family business, it’s easy to inherit roles, patterns, and assumptions that don’t fit. In this solo episode, Andrea breaks down the IMAP assessment—a practical framework to name your natural wiring so you can lead with clarity (not copycat energy).

You’ll learn how motivated roles map to a project’s lifecycle (Idea → Prototype → Develop → Refine → Maximize), why operating outside your role drains energy, and how temperament and impact style shape the way you show up.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

  • The 5 motivated roles and how to find yours across a project’s lifecycle
  • Why “not my role” ≠ weakness—and how role-misalignment mimics burnout
  • Andrea’s wiring (Refiner/Maximizer, Internal Futurist, Feeler-Planner, Analyst) and how it shows up in client work
  • Practical scripts for teammates with different temperaments (planner vs. adapter, internal vs. social)
  • How successors can design roles that fit them—not just the previous leader
  • Invite: Fall IMAP cohort for successors who want to apply this in community
