Types of Business Leaders

Guest post by: Fritz Glaus

Article Overview: 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.

Types of Business Leaders

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.
