The Fastest Way to Shut Down a Team

Описание: Can you tell the difference between good leadership and bad leadership without hearing anything?

In this episode, we continue our leadership analysis of Andor by comparing Major Partagaz and Colonel Yularen — two powerful figures in the same room, responding to the same information in radically different ways.

One leader:
Asks questions
Invites curiosity
Creates space for thinking
Signals safety through posture, presence, and attention

The other:
Withholds curiosity
Communicates resistance
Uses silence as a barrier
Shuts down momentum before it can build

We look at two major differences:
How leaders use (or avoid) questions
What their body language communicates to the room

You’ll see how:
Silence can feel like dismissal
Curiosity builds trust instantly
Body posture can either calm or harden a room
Teams quickly learn who the “safe” leader is

This isn’t about Star Wars trivia.

It’s about recognizing the subtle behaviors that either unlock a team — or quietly shut it down.
