Enneagram at Work

198. Building a People-First Company with the Enneagram: Inside ButcherBox with CEO Mike Salguero & CPO Eliza Jackson


Listen Later

Before we dive in: Most of our work at Enneagram MBA is rooted in the Awareness to Action model developed by Mario Sikora and team. But from time to time, we like to explore other Enneagram approaches and insights that come up in the workplace and coaching conversations. This is one of those episodes, so you may hear some differences from the ATA model we typically use.


Today’s conversation is such a special one, and honestly, a huge honor. I had the chance to sit down with two incredible leaders from a company you’ve probably heard of (and maybe even ordered from): ButcherBox.

In this episode, you’ll hear directly from Mike Salguero, founder and CEO, and Eliza Jackson, Chief People Officer, about how they’ve woven the Enneagram into the DNA of their 200-person organization. From onboarding to manager development, the Enneagram isn’t just a one-time workshop at ButcherBox; it’s part of their shared language and leadership culture.

We talk about:

  • How Mike first discovered the Enneagram and why it resonated with him as a leader.
  • The practical ways ButcherBox is integrating the framework into hiring, feedback, and team communication.
  • What’s surprised them most about using the Enneagram company-wide.
  • The connection between self-awareness, organizational trust, and scalable culture.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when an entire company uses the Enneagram to build connection, accountability, and clarity at scale, this conversation is a must-listen.

Tune in to learn how the Enneagram is shaping leadership and culture at one of the most mission-driven consumer brands out there.
