Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mirror shows a pattern when you lead the team
Same moves every Monday, like a worn routine
Directive cuts through chaos with a surgeon's blade
Coaching asks the questions that help skills upgrade

[Chorus]
Know your default, know your natural bend
Directive, Coaching, where do you tend?
Visionary paints while Democratic waits
Servant lifts others, Transformational creates
Self-awareness opens every other door
You can't adapt what you've never seen before

[Verse 2]
Visionary speakers paint tomorrows bright
Democratic circles gather every insight
But tactics slip through fingers of the dreamer's hand
While endless meetings bog down what was planned

[Chorus]
Know your default, know your natural bend
Directive, Coaching, where do you tend?
Visionary paints while Democratic waits
Servant lifts others, Transformational creates
Self-awareness opens every other door
You can't adapt what you've never seen before

[Verse 3]
Servant leaders empty cups to fill their crew
Transformational rebels shake what once was true
But burnout haunts the giver who forgets themselves
Exhaustion strikes when revolution overwhelms

[Bridge]
Crisis calls for orders sharp and clean
Growth demands a coach behind the scene
Purpose needs a prophet's burning eyes
Ownership blooms when every voice can rise

[Chorus]
Know your default, know your natural bend
Directive, Coaching, where do you tend?
Visionary paints while Democratic waits
Servant lifts others, Transformational creates
Self-awareness opens every other door
You can't adapt what you've never seen before

[Outro]
Every style has strength and shadow too
The question isn't what, the question's when and who
Six different hammers in your leadership kit
First step is knowing which one always fits
