Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future S3 Ep17: Self-Awareness: The #1 Predictor of Leadership Success
Guest: Belinda Gore, PhD
Your leadership style affects everything: your decisions, your culture, your team, your impact.
But most leaders operate on autopilot, unaware of the unconscious patterns shaping their choices.
In this conversation, host Maureen Metcalf talks with psychologist and Enneagram expert Belinda Gore about the importance of self-awareness, the nine leadership personality types, and how knowing yours can dramatically upgrade how you lead.
Here's what Belinda and Maureen cover:
- Why self-awareness is the strongest predictor of leadership success;
- How your personality type impacts your team and strategy; and
- The nine Enneagram leadership styles (and their blind spots)!
