Collaborating Across Leadership Orientations

In teams, collaboration often swings between two extremes we either push our ideas so hard that others struggle to co-create, or hold back until we feel undervalued. This facilitated session by TAO Consulting, inspired by Five Seats of Power by Raghu Ananthanarayanan and the leadership archetypes of the Mahabharata, explores how understanding your own leadership orientation can transform the way you work with others.

Who its for?

Designed for founders, founding teams, chiefs of staff, and next-generation business leaders, the session offers practical insights for building stronger collaboration without losing individual authenticity.

You'll leave with

-A deeper understanding of your leadership orientation

-A shared language for navigating different working styles.

-Insights into what enables or hinders collaboration

-Practical ways to work with differences while building together
