Sales Coaching Action Plan - By Fritz Glaus

Business leaders continuously evaluate their business results and their business tactics to ensure optimum benefits for the business. They want to know what works best in terms of costs and of profits. When making this evaluation, leaders usually follow up with an evaluation of their personal strengths and weaknesses, because they know that the quality of their interpretation of events has a direct effect on business results. This sort of orientation is more or less standard for most progressive business establishments.

In addition, more and more business leaders are receptive to new approaches for improving business results. One such approach is the concept of the balanced use of the three intelligences proposed by neuroscience. Neuroscience has labeled the three intelligences ‘'the head, heart, and gut intelligences'', as discussed by Robert K Cooper, Ph.D. in his article ''A New Neuroscience of Leadership'' . According to that concept, the business leader who makes balanced use of his three intelligences is bound to be more successful in his endeavors than the leader who doesn't.

Various psychologists have jumped on the bandwagon of business improvement. They recommend as very useful for business people the study of the enneagram, a symbol they consider to be an excellent basis for analyzing one's strengths and weaknesses. One of the better known enneagram systems is that of Myers-Briggs who point out that the enneagram provides evidence of the existence of different human types, each of which deals differently with the world that surrounds them. This purportedly is true of everyone, including business leaders.

A close study of the origin of the enneagram reveals that it is not a symbol invented by psychologists but one that dates back to pre-historic times when it was concluded that it represents human characteristics similar to those pertaining to the six planets Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn. This is to day that the historic enneagram reflects the concept of SIX CLASSIC HUMAN TYPES. The psychologists' enneagrams, on the other hand, including that of Myers-Briggs, describe 9 or more human types and do not take into account the historic origins of the enneagram. Myers-Briggs in fact describes 16 types.

On its part, ThreeBrainSynergy.com adheres to the concept of SIX CLASSIC HUMAN TYPES.

It is important to be aware of a general principle implied in all typologies, which is that regardless of the type to which people belong, every person is different from everyone else, even if they belong to the same human type, because in the end no two persons are exactly alike.

RSS for Fritz's articles - Visit Fritz's website
Fritz Glaus is a researcher, writer, and leadership, team and sales training expert. From the very beginning of his training career, which spans over more than 45 years, Fritz developed his own training material in which he incorporated a types-of-people methodology of self-knowledge and understanding of others. Fritz's typology is based on a system of six classic types which enables participants, during training, to gradually learn about themselves and about others as well as exchange that personal information with each other.

In 2006 Fritz published the book ‘'CRazYZoo! ‘KNOW THYSELF' made easy'' which is a simple and personally meaningful method of learning about the six classic types and is presented in the form of an action-filled fable which also allows the reader to decide for himself to which of the six classic types he belongs.

To-day, all ThreeBrainSynergy manuals and e-learning material are based on the types-of-people approach.
