Why do some leaders thrive in the weeds while others miss critical details?

In this episode of Leadership Traits Decoded, Cynthia Kyriazis and Drea Martin explore the leadership trait of detail orientation - when it matters, when it doesn’t, and how to build systems that support it.

From Cynthia’s real-world story of a client stuck in big-picture thinking, to Drea’s insights from platform data, they unpack how detail orientation functions across roles - and why more isn’t always better. 

A CEO may not need deep detail skills if the right teammates are in place, but when a whole leadership team is low on this trait, performance risk emerges.

You’ll learn:

• When detail orientation is essential - and when it can be delegated
• How to spot team imbalances that affect execution
• Development strategies that use systems, not just habits
• Why detail skills must align with both role and team dynamics.

Whether you’re detail-driven or not, this episode offers practical insight into making detail orientation a team asset - not a leadership gap.
