The Choice Model
How Leaders Move Teams Out of Drama and Back Into Execution
The Choice Model gives leaders a shared language for what’s happening in real time — so trust builds, conflict stays clean, and accountability doesn’t collapse upward.
Watch: How leaders use The Choice Model in real conversations
Most leadership breakdowns don’t start with bad intent. They start when stress takes over and people lose access to choice.
The Choice Model makes that visible. It shows leaders and teams whether they’re operating from:
- Drama — reactive, defensive, focused on what’s wrong
- Purpose — clear, accountable, focused on what matters
When people can see where they are, they can shift how they show up — immediately. That’s what changes meetings, decisions, and follow-through.
How Leaders Use This Framework
- To name breakdowns without blame
- To interrupt drama before it spreads
- To make conflict productive instead of personal
- To return accountability to the team
This is why leadership development becomes sticky. The model doesn’t live in a binder — it lives in the room.
This framework is most powerful when it’s implemented system-wide.
