In our first episode, we introduced some of the big ideas of the Enneagram. The Enneagram is mostly used for personal self-knowledge and personality development, offering a powerful tool for better understanding your core motivations and applying that knowledge to all areas of your life, including conflict resolution, team dynamics, leadership and emotional intelligence. 

In the previous episode, Christine and Jacob covered the 9 types of leadership. Today, Sonal and Jacob are focusing on the 9 types at work. We share insights about each types’ communication style, ideal work environment, and common professions and industries each type leans toward.

It’s important to note that the Enneagram is just a tool in the toolkit of transformation. We personally think it is exciting to see how many business leaders are turning to the Enneagram to learn more about their employees and how to best equip them for success. In an office setting, these insights can explain why some collaborators need more time to process information than others, or why some employees find it difficult to speak up. Co-workers who possess Enneagram knowledge understand each other’s intentions, which can go a long way in resolving conflict, or even preventing it, and supervisors can task employees in a way that sets them up for success.

In this episode, Christine and Jacob discuss how leaders can leverage Enneagram insights to better understand their team members and tailor their leadership approach accordingly. We share brief explanations of the leadership styles of each Enneagram type and in which situations they may be the right person to turn to.

The Enneagram is mostly used for personal self-knowledge and personality development, offering a powerful tool for better understanding your core motivations and applying that knowledge to all areas of your life, including conflict resolution, team dynamics, leadership and emotional intelligence.

Because it identifies opportunities for development for each individual type, it has become widely used in areas such as counseling, psychotherapy, business development, parenting and education.

In this miniseries, we will explore the Enneagram of Personality. There are hundreds if not thousands of books and podcasts on the topic, so we thought we would focus on the Enneagram personalities in the workplace. Of course, if you’ve never heard about the Enneagram or don’t know much about it, then you’re in the right place.

In this episode, we will share a brief overview of the Enneagram to prepare us for the following, more in-depth episodes. What it is, How it works, and Why it’s a popular tool to use. For those who are already familiar with the Enneagram, we’re certain you will still gain some insight from this miniseries, since we will be sharing personal stories and reflections from our own use of the Enneagram.
