The Champion leadership style
The Champion is bold, but never for themselves first. They are the ones who notice who isn’t being heard, and who speak up when someone needs them to.
In the Shemoon framework, the Champion is ground-led and bold: focused on real people and real situations, and willing to act on their behalf.

The Champion at their best
Advocacy
They stand up for people and causes, even when it costs them something.
Trust and loyalty
People follow a Champion because they know the Champion is on their side.
A sense of fairness
They notice when something isn’t right, and they don’t let it slide.
You might be a Champion if…
- You've spoken up in a meeting for someone who wasn't in the room.
- Unfairness bothers you long after everyone else has moved on.
- People bring you their problems, and you take them on.
