You’ve probably heard about the Enneagram and wondered how it can be more than just a personality test. In this episode, Trevor Timbeck and Steve Chandler reveal that an Enneagram type reflects one’s systems and behaviors rather than their core identity, which can be a transformative insight for leaders. We explore how systems, not personal willpower, shape behaviors and effectiveness, discussing practical applications and examples emphasizing systems' power in leadership and personal development.
Trevor Timbeck is a transformative leader specializing in love-based inspiration. As a coach and author, he’s dedicated to helping leaders identify and implement effective systems. Steve Chandler is a prolific author and corporate leadership trainer whose clients include Honeywell and Wells Fargo. Both bring a wealth of experience and insights into how leaders can shift focus from personal shortcomings to actionable systems.
“Amazing leaders who have accomplished so much have a common denominator: they rely on systems, not just strengths.” - Steve Chandler
