Required Reading!  2008-09-30
This book is a required reading for all my coaching clients. It is clear, accessible, and provides tools for immediate application in personal life and career. Lapid-Bogda goes beyond a typing system, and provides a map for self development and self mastery. Her section on writing e-mails is fantastic and provides amazing insight on how to bring awareness into everyday communication. My clients are blown away by how easy it is to implement her strategies. I was very impressed by her section on optimal decision making. This is a must read for anyone who wants to explore the enneagram and its usefulness in the work setting.

What Type of Leader Are You?
As a training consultant this book is an invaluable tool and often suggest that clients use it as a regular reference book both for themselves and for their colleagues and employees.
This book gives such an insightful description of the different leadership styles that is quite compelling. It's excellent for leadership development. Ms Lapid-Bogda outlines how each of the personality types can develop their leadership styles and grow in a way that is both challenging and compassionate.
Something new for the leaders of the 21st century ! 2008-09-30
As a consultant I am thrilled by the content of this book. It has been so useful to me and my clients that I have decided to translate it into French.
Not only the leadership competencies are explained in detail, but all leaders get clues to improve their specific talents and extend their abilities in many ways.
A life changing experience !
Engaging and Accessible 2008-09-29
This is a terrific book for leaders and for those who work with them. Doesn't that describe just about everyone? Never has the Enneagram been so elegantly intertwined with business leadership competencies. The systemic perspective provided in What Type of Leader Are You? has great value and broad applicability for leaders and non-leaders alike. The author's easy style, detailed descriptions and real-life examples make the book fun and useful. If you're interested in a great read articulating how the power and wisdom of the Enneagram can provide tools for self-insight, enhanced leadership effectiveness and organizational improvement, I highly recommend this book.
