Before we close Season One, it’s time to pause—and look beneath the surface of leadership itself.

This bonus episode exposes how feedback often measures likeness, not effectiveness—and how “culture fit” quietly rewards sameness under the banner of belonging.

We’ll unpack why personality-based feedback activates tribal belonging, why directness is so often misread, and how to use the Signal or Story? reflection to separate system bias from personal truth.

Leadership Cartography teaches you to locate yourself inside the system, not lose yourself to it.
