How the White House Dog Race Is Heating Up (With Video Link)
I’ve been intrigued by the different leadership styles of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, since I wrote a book about leadership styles based on different personality types. While there are a number of personality type profiles, such as Myers-Briggs, Color Profiling, and DISC, I developed a system based on four different dog types and conducted a series of workshops.

Both can be effective leaders, but they attract different types of followers. You can see a video about how these different leadership styles are reflected in the just posted video: The White House Dog Race.
