Last week, I coached a senior executive through his MTQPlus profile.
Balanced. Composed. Mentally tough.
His emotional control was exceptional โ the calm in the storm.
But when it came to recognition, his team sometimes walked away unsure.
Not because he didnโt do well, but because the emotion didnโt pass on.
The moment didnโt land.
He also scored high in interpersonal confidence.
He leads conversations with ease.
But we explored: What might be missed when you always take the mic?
Then we reached his core driver โ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ.
Off-the-charts.
Goal-focused. Achievement-driven.
A classic CEO profile.
But hereโs what hit home:
Heโs been carrying the weight of ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ด.
Years of stress.
Sleepless nights.
Moments missed with family.
Because the goal wasnโt met. And โfailureโ doesnโt sit well with him.
In that moment, he paused.

That question changed everything.
He realized:
Success isnโt just about external KPIs.
Itโs about legacy. Being remembered as a leader who cared.
Who developed people.
Who led with heart.
This is the power of ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ.
Itโs not just a psychometric.
Itโs a mirror.
And sometimes, a reset button.

The conversation I had last week was not an isolated case, but part of a broader leadership crisis. The MTQPlus profile doesnโt just reveal traits; it helps leaders understand why certain stressors hit harder, and how to navigate them with clarity and intention.
If you're navigating change, pressure, or transitionโ
Letโs talk about whatโs beneath the surface.
