  • 50. What your personality type says about the business owner you’ll be, with Dr. Gerilyn Alfe, DMD, MBA
    Aug 28 2024
    We've all met them: The leader who throws out a thousand ideas a minute The big personality who can't be trusted to follow up on anything The boss who wants to be everyone's friend but can't make hard decisions The business owner who suffers from "paralysis by analysis" These stereotypes can be a drain on any business's productivity. However, when properly channeled and balanced, they can be high-achieving employers who lead their teams to greatness. In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Gerilyn Alfe, owner at Get Ahead Coaching and Consulting, and a former practicing dentist and dental practice owner of 25 years. In addition to her private practice, she’s worked as a speaker, hands-on instructor, and mentor to thousands of business owners throughout the country. She'll explain the four main personality types, provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each type, and offer advice on how to leverage these traits in business.
