Enneagram for Leaders

Crack the Code of Effective Leadership

Welcome to the Enneagram, a powerful, cutting-edge growth model that enables leaders to gain radical insights into both their potential and their blind spots, and then allows them to grow beyond their current limitations.

Much is expected from modern leaders:

provide a vision and strategic clarity
engage and empower others
lead change
promote diversity and inclusion
and much more!

A key barrier to this is the leader’s level self-awareness and capacity to change. The Enneagram helps leaders create true breakthroughs by focusing on self-awareness, emotional intelligence and by continuously learning and growing through a deep connection with their authentic self.

How it works

The Enneagram wheel as shown by Integrative 9

The Enneagram uncovers the patterns of thoughts and feelings that sub-consciously drive and motivate us to behave in certain ways. When we make these patterns and motivations conscious, we are able to develop a richer, more supportive awareness of ourselves and those around us. This allows us to lead more effectively and with more compassion. Working with the Enneagram empowers leaders to take responsibility for their own behaviours and lead from a greater understanding of why they behave and react the way they do.

The 9 Enneagram Types

The Enneagram growth model brings executive coaching to a deeper level by working on causes rather than symptoms. It offers a growth path that will be specific to a leader’s personality type.

There are 9 archetypes of personalities in the Enneagram model. We all have parts of all 9 types in us, but there will be one type that dominates how we engage with the world. Understanding what this type is, what drives it and why other people default to different types is a quantum leap in developing emotional intelligence and, ultimately, effective leadership.

The Enneagram Report

Participants will complete a detailed online questionnaire to establish their most expressed Enneagram archetype. They will then receive a personalised report with comprehensive information about their dominant Enneagram type and the way they currently engage with others. The report also contains an assessment of their current stress levels and proposed development actions.

In a private debrief session, your coach will take you through the report in detail and assist in designing a strategy for cultivating different ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that will improve personal effectiveness.

The Enneagram makes this easy by providing a key to understanding different personalities, what pushes their buttons and how to foster good relationships with them.
