The Progressive Leaders App
Sharpen your leadership
You know your style. Do you know what pressure does to it?
Twelve questions name your preference and show how it moves as pressure rises. Includes a free Progressive Leaders App account, so everyone who joins you appears on one picture, with practical guidance for the conversations you are actually about to have.
Built for everyone who leads: chief executives, managing directors, directors, senior leadership teams, managers, entrepreneurs, business owners and their teams.
Pressure Profile: free. No card needed.
THE FRAMEWORK
Four patterns. Four blind spots.
Everyone works from one of four preferences. Each has a cost it pays under pressure and a blind spot that comes with it.
The Conductor | Red Drive
Hardens into certainty
BLIND SPOT
Their own uncertainty
The Catalyst | Yellow Spark
Moves before others are ready
BLIND SPOT
What gets left behind
The Adjudicator | Green Anchor
Delays under ambiguity
BLIND SPOT
The cost of waiting
The Architect | Blue Depth
Withdraws into analysis
BLIND SPOT
The human cost of the plan

The part with no obvious equivalent
Team Work
Pick a person with any situation. Giving feedback. Delegating something. A hard conversation. A one to one. Motivating before something big. Bringing them into a change, or something else. The answer sets your own style beside theirs. One tick reads either of you as pressure rises.
Team Work
- You
- A team member
Reads both of you before the conversation.

STEP 4
Ask Team Work before the conversation
Four colours. Everyone runs all four - what differs is the order and what happens to that order under pressure.
Red Drive
Thinking + Extraversion
Takes hold. Decides, directs, drives pace.
Yellow Spark
Feeling + Extraversion
Lifts the room. Energises, persuades, brings people with them.
Green Anchor
Feeling + Introversion
Steadies. Weighs fairly, protects the people in the room.
Blue Depth
Thinking + Introversion
Builds the frame. Wants evidence, precision, a plan that holds.
Why this travels further than a profiling exercise
- ›
The report is the input, not the output. Most preference profiling ends with a document and a workshop. Here the report is what the team tools read from, so you use it every week, before a one to one, a hard conversation or a piece of feedback.
- ›
One instrument, every level. The twelve questions ask how you work, in plain words, so a first-line manager and a chief executive both answer them truthfully. Their results sit on the same diamond.
- ›
The guidance is about the two of you, not about a colour. It is generated from the other person's own answers set beside your own, so it is about you both and the situation you are actually in, not about how to work with a type.
- ›
Adoption is not gated on a budget decision. Anyone can complete the free Pressure Profile. The team tools are free with the first five people who join you, permanently. Nothing expires.
- ›
Sharing is built in. When someone you invite finishes, the two of you share profiles automatically. You each see the other's preference, four colour scores, a summary and reports. Either of you can stop sharing at any time.
The next step
The first one is free. Take the Pressure Profile, read your report, then invite someone from your team to see what you both look like and how you work, side by side.
