The QuestWorks Hero System

Nine ways to lead.
Thirty-six profiles.

Every leader sits in one cell of the grid — built from why you lead (Motivator, Analyst, Guardian) crossed with how you lead (Connector, Pioneer, Steward). Add your Edge — how you enter the work — and you get one of 36 leadership profiles. Find yours.
