In this concise leadership coaching short, Susan Drumm challenges leaders to recognize whether they operate as a "fixer" or a "peacemaker" and to consider how these habitual patterns may have become blind spots. She explains that the behaviors that once felt like superpowers can turn into autopilot responses that limit growth. Drumm urges viewers to pause, reflect on whether their current style is a conscious choice or merely a learned default, and to shift toward intentional, purpose‑driven leadership rather than relying on ingrained habits.

Chapters

Hey leaders, are you the fixer or the peacemaker? Are you the one who always gets it done? That move might feel like your superpower, but what if it's also your biggest blind spot? We all build patterns to feel safe or stay in control, and when the pressure hits, that pattern takes over. It looks like leadership, but it's really autopilot. It's your default style, and over time, what once made you successful can quietly hold you back. So hit pause. Ask yourself, is this how I want to lead, or just how I've learned to lead? Your real superpower isn't what you do by habit, it's what you choose on purpose.
