E06: Designing for Development

Episode notes

Welcome to episode six of the Leadership, Rewritten podcast. What you’re about to hear is an AI-generated narration of the full text of Chapter Six: Designing for Development. This chapter is longer and more detailed than the Substack essays you may already have read. It tells the full story of Maya’s turning point: how she discovered that leadership development doesn’t need to be bolted onto the side of work — it can be embedded inside the work itself. You’ll hear about: * The napkin moment that gave rise to the Praxis Q quadrants. * Maya’s creation of Self-in-Role-in-System briefs — developmental job descriptions that act as mirrors rather than blueprints. * The four developmental arcs of Jo, Anil, Priya, and Kieran, each stretching into a different Praxis Q quadrant. * The emergence of the Praxis Q Growth Cycle — one quadrant, one stretch posture, one deliverable, one ripple. Please note: this is an AI-generated podcast, created directly from the full written chapter. It’s an experiment in making the complete text more accessible in audio form, and the tone is different from a live conversation.
