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.
Based on this system, Biden is like a Golden Retriever, the supportive-helper type of leader, while Trump is like a German Shephard, the dominant-aggressive type. 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.

And if users are angry about seeing too many ads, that’s also a problem for advertisers, since not only can users leaving reduce their target market for viewing their ad, but many users are trying to hide or avoid seeing their ads.
