Title: Self-Awareness & Leadership Style
Estimated time: 20–30 minutes + quiz
Format: Reading + videos → Openprovider case → MC quiz
Why this matters for Middle Management
As an MMT leader, your impact is rarely only “what you decide” — it’s how you show up while deciding.
Your leadership style affects:
1. Team ownership & accountability
2. Speed of execution (or delay through over-analysis)
3. Cross-team collaboration
4. Psychological safety (whether people speak up or stay silent)
5. Meeting quality (L10 effectiveness, IDS outcomes)
This week helps you build awareness of your default style, your triggers under pressure, and how to lead with clarity without losing agility.
After completing Week 1 of this 3-week module, you will be able to:
1. Explain why self-awareness is a leadership skill (not a “soft skill”)
2. Recognize your default leadership style under pressure
3. Identify behaviors that increase ownership vs. dependency
4. Apply a simple reflection method to improve your impact in meetings and decisions
5. Prepare for Week 2: Agile Leadership behaviors in practice
