I don't know -- there are good aspects to the type A personality: Drive to succeed, directness, work ethic, and such. But each of the good aspects could be turned into something bad. A novel hero who's a take charge hero type is all well and good, until he starts pushing the heroine around and treating her as a prize instead of an equal. I can't stand that kind of person, so I'd certainly never write him as a protagonist.
