The 9 Types of Leadership

Mastering the Art of People in the 21st Century Workplace

By: Beatrice Chestnut PhD

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

The 9 Types of Leadership demonstrates how to solve people problems on the job in a quick, efficient, and satisfying way through understanding personality patterns and motivations. In the past few years, mindfulness and other approaches to self-awareness have begun to transform the American workplace. But while it is increasingly widely accepted in the business world that the most direct route to success lies in adopting practices that actively promote a leader's self-awareness, social skill, and emotional intelligence, the best and most efficient path to developing a more conscious workforce often remains unclear.

The 9 Types of Leadership provides a pathway to greater self-awareness and social skillfulness. It will help you orient yourself when you get caught up in people problems that you don't know how to work your way out of.

By providing extremely detailed and accurate descriptions of nine recognizable personalities, The 9 Types of Leadership is an unmatched tool for business people to use to decode the mysteries involved in understanding why people do what they do, why we have conflicts with some people but not others, and how we can become aware of our blind spots. Most importantly, it can help leaders know themselves in a deeper way so they can more effectively lead others.

Just magnificent

Incredible how this audiobook connects the Emeagram with Leadership and makes all the sense from the beginning. A must read for leaders

Takes some time to get through but worth it.

This is a very long listen but well worth the time. It is very insightful. Really helps you understand your internal conversations and interactions with others.

I absolutely love this book!

It not only teaches you about other people, this book helps in general with your family type personalities…

Love this book!

I love this book! This has helped me understand myself better and my coworkers, family as friends. For anyone thinking they are not the leading type should read this and truly see what type they are and to reflect on their weaknesses and to grow as a leader. I liked this book so much I wrote a paper in one of my MBA courses about this topic and integrated this book.

Eye Opening

This was an incredible listen. It opened many doors of relationship building in the professional and personal realms of life.

Just what our office needed

We learned a ton about how we operate in the workspace and how we can better work together as a team

Excellent Deep Dive

Dr. Chestnut is my favorite Enneagram scholar. I’ve found a great deal of personal enrichment from learning about the model and reading Dr. Chestnut’s books have been a big part of it- she is unparalleled in expanding the ideas around instinctual variants.

I wouldn’t recommend this book as a jumping off point. It would help to already be familiar with the Enneagram system. For those who are already a bit knowledgeable about their type, this book is a very rewarding listen.

Great book!

it was a great book, was hard for me to follow but has gotten my interest in different types of leadership.

Great Knowledge

love it and learned about Me and how to manage in management in corporate

This is what I have been looking for years!

I already had an idea of my tendencies, differences from others, and my weak and strong points. This book really help me to find my personality type as a social 7. This book is particularly valuable because I provides many practical ideas for growth, even though I already have done some, but this is showing me a more clear path. Also I have started understanding others better.
I am an individual contributor in my company, and I see the great potential to help my team and all my relationships to improve and be more productive.
Thank you for putting this book together! It includes so many practical ideas to apply this framework in such clear terms. It provides a useful tool to help teams to be more productive in this time when we encounter so many challenges in an increasing speed.
