But most leaders operate on autopilot, unaware of the unconscious patterns shaping their choices.

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)!
