Deep dives
Understanding the Enneagram and Its Role in Leadership
The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system with nine distinct personality types, each influencing decision-making styles. Each type is formed during childhood as a coping mechanism in relationships, with unique motivations that affect how individuals act in various situations. Recognizing and understanding these types is crucial for leaders in making informed decisions and managing their teams effectively. For instance, type ones, known as 'improvers,' prioritize integrity and moral values in their choices, although they may struggle with perfectionism.
