The Choice Model in Action

How Leaders Talk Through Real Dynamics — Without Blame or Spin

This conversation shows how the Choice Model is used live — to surface tension, clarify responsibility, and shift teams out of drama while the work is actually happening.

Watch: A real-time discussion of how leaders shift out of drama and into ownership

Most leadership teams don’t need more insight — they need a way to talk about what’s already happening without triggering defensiveness, politics, or shutdown.

This conversation demonstrates how the Choice Model creates that opening.
Instead of diagnosing people or fixing behavior, leaders focus on:

  • What’s happening in the system right now
  • Where responsibility is being avoided or absorbed
  • How stress is shaping decisions and interactions

When the conversation stays grounded in choice, people can hear each other.
Accountability becomes clearer — and less personal.

Why This Matters for Leadership Teams

  • Issues surface without escalation
  • Conflict stays productive instead of personal
  • Executives stop carrying what belongs to the team
  • Ownership becomes visible in real time

This is what allows trust and accountability to grow together — instead of being forced from the top.

These conversations stick when the entire system is aligned around them.
