A short spoken message by Susan Drumm prompting leaders to examine whether their habitual leadership style is a chosen strategy or an automatic default. She encourages awareness of one’s pattern (e.g., being the ‘glue’, the calm presence, or the driver), and recommends consciously updating those habits —“update the playlist”—so you can lead on purpose without reinventing yourself.

Did you choose it or did it choose you? That habit you've been praised for, you know, the one that makes you the glue or the calm one in a storm, or the driver. Did you choose it or did it choose you? You don't have to throw it out. You just have to stop letting it run the show and being the default. Because the moment you see the pattern is the moment you get to lead on purpose, not just repeat what your nervous system learned to do decades ago. You don't need to reinvent yourself. You just need to update the playlist, and that changes everything.
