Walter Bellin's Climb a Different Ladder shows us that in order to be a successful leader we first need to develop an understanding of our inner self and our own personality profile. Only in understanding our own strengths and weaknesses can we become the best: not only in ourselves but also in our professional life. The book introduces Walter Bellin's unique Q12 Profile a technique that profiles the geography of our personalities. The resultant 'maps' allow us to harness aspects of our lives to allow personal growth, leading to a sustainable, positive change. It promotes the idea that our leadership skill sets should be part of a holistic life: not divided by work and private life. Bellin shows us we all have the potential for leadership, but it is only through learning the true nature of our personalities that we can achieve a more fulfilled life and find the authenticity needed to fulfil our leadership potential.
