What makes a great leader—confidence and speed, or preparation and caution?

If you’ve ever worked under a Type 3 (The Pacesetter) or a Type 6 (The Guardian), you know these two approach leadership differently.

Type 3 might say: "Go big, go fast, and don’t look back!"
Type 6 could be heard saying: "Slow down, assess the risks, and ensure we’re prepared!"

So… who actually makes the better leader? In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we break it down:

• Why Type 3s make exciting, inspiring leaders
• How Type 6s bring preparation, trust, and strategic thinking
• Where they struggle (Too impulsive? Too hesitant?)
• How to balance action with caution to become the best leader possible
• Which leadership style is best for different team environments

🎯 Whether you’re a Type 3 pushing for results, a Type 6 double-checking each move, or just trying to figure out how to work with these leadership styles, this episode will give you real-world insights to navigate both.
