Why the Enneagram?
While other assessments like Clifton StrengthsFinder, The Caliper Profile, DISC, and MBTI are widely used in corporate settings, the Enneagram goes beyond identifying skills or surface-level personality traits. It offers deeper, more actionable insights, especially for leaders who are focused on integrating new team members or developing current executives and employees.
The Enneagram highlights the core motivations driving each individual, providing a clear understanding of how they respond under stress, their natural strengths, and pathways for growth. It also sheds light on conflict responses, communication preferences, and collaboration styles—key elements when leading and developing diverse teams.
By working with an accredited Enneagram Consultant, you gain invaluable data on your leadership team, how they interact, and how to foster a culture that promotes communication, resilience, and growth across the organization. This personalized approach ensures that leadership development is aligned not just with competencies, but with the intrinsic motivations that drive long-term success.
Key Challenges & Enneagram Solutions
Communication Issues -----------------> Understand each team member’s communication style, how they receive and deliver feedback, and how they show up in conflict. The Enneagram provides insights into each individual’s preferences and tendencies, allowing for more effective and personalized communication across the team.
Inter-team drama -------------------> Learning how team members approach problem-solving, communicate, and collaborate enables leaders to align responsibilities based on both natural strengths and learned skills. This helps mitigate unnecessary drama, fosters stronger working relationships, and sets the team up for success.
Lack of Collaboration -----------------> By equipping leaders and team members with a deeper understanding of their natural strengths, the Enneagram enables teams to improve collaboration. Leaders can foster an environment where individuals feel empowered to contribute their best, while also developing the skills necessary to thrive in their roles.
High Stress Levels ----------------> The Enneagram helps leaders and teams identify stress triggers and coping mechanisms, providing actionable strategies for managing high-pressure situations. This leads to healthier, more resilient teams capable of sustaining performance even under challenging conditions.
Employee Burnout and Disengagement ------------------> The Enneagram reconnects team members with their core motivations, reminding them of their personal “why” for choosing their career in fields such as corporate, healthcare, or education. By re-engaging employees with their intrinsic drivers, the Enneagram bridges the gap between disengagement and renewed passion for their work.
Employee Retention ---------------> Understanding the individual needs, motivations, and stress points of team members creates a more supportive and fulfilling work environment. This increases job satisfaction and loyalty, significantly improving retention rates by ensuring that employees feel valued and understood.
Leadership Development -------------> The Enneagram provides a powerful framework for leadership development by highlighting emotional intelligence (EQ) and offering personalized strategies for growth. Leaders gain deeper insights into their leadership style, communication methods, and areas for improvement, enabling them to lead with greater empathy and effectiveness.
Low Morale --------------> The Enneagram offers deep insights into the emotional and psychological factors that can lead to low morale. By addressing both individual and collective motivations, it helps foster a sense of purpose and belonging within teams. This process revitalizes engagement, strengthens connections, and cultivates a healthier, more positive company culture where employees feel valued and motivated to contribute to the organization's success.
