Great entrepreneurs understand the importance of using technologies like Internet fax to give them a competitive edge in their industry. What personality types make great leaders, leaders who understand how to make great decisions like this?

Bill Wagner conducted an extensive personality study on entrepreneurs and he found that great leaders tend to be generalists. One of these types of generalist he calls trailblazers.

If you’re a trailblazer, he says, “You are very competitive, ambitious and goal- oriented–so much so that you tend to be aggressive and sometimes take a steamroller approach. You’re restless and energetic, with a strong drive and a sense of urgency, regardless of the task at hand.”

If you are of this personality type, you’re not a risk taker for risk’s sake. You are very logical and analytical about your choices and you seek facts before making decisions.

Trailblazers tend to be very strategic in their thinking, making them very marketing and operations focused. Their biggest challenge is working with people. Their intensity can be too much for their coworkers. Good trailblazers recognize this and hire managers who deal with the every day issues of their team members.

Trailblazers would not likely buy a franchise. They would want to create their own brand, starting from scratch, making it exactly the way that they want it to be. They try to revolutionize their industries, and not just make a quick buck in it.
