I'm excited to announce a new video series I'm launching over the next couple of weeks, exploring how the Enneagram can be a powerful tool for leading and understanding your team. Stay tuned! --- For those looking to dive deeper into the Enneagram, here are some resources I highly recommend: ?? BOOKS? - "The Sacred Enneagram" by Christopher L. Heuertz: A thoughtful connection between the Enneagram and spiritual growth, ideal for those with a Western spirituality background. - "The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective" by Richard Rohr & Andreas Ebert: A great read for anyone exploring the Enneagram from a Christian lens. - "From Fixation to Freedom: The Enneagram of Liberation" by Eli Jaxon-Bear: Perfect for those with an Eastern spirituality perspective, focusing on personal and spiritual liberation. ?? PODCAST - "The Enneagram Journey" by Suzanne Stabile: An insightful series exploring the Enneagram's practical applications in life and leadership. Curious about your Enneagram type? Check out the EnneaApp, created by my dear friend and advisor, Elan BenAmi, or take the test at the Enneagram Institute today!
I want to respectfully disagree on this one. When any of my managers spoke to me within a enneagram context it was tough to take the conversation seriously. This is because they had assigned me an enneagram number and then tailored their conversation to that imagined idea. I would have preferred to talk as individuals. The C-suite and many of the senior leadership had bought into the enneagram. So even though many of the employees disliked it, it felt uncomfortable to speak up about it. I get how tempting it is to put people into boxes. And I commend you for trying to make team dynamics and individual relationships better. But the enneagram isn't based on any large scale studies around people in the workforce. It has no scientific backing that we could find for organizational psychology. It seemed that it was created by a Bolivian teacher Ichazo, who based it off of Sufism, Kabbalah, and Christianity. So for people who are disinterested in those religions the enneagram is a bit alienating. For instance, the enneagrams "passions" is the 7 deadly sins. For someone who isn't Christian this felt very weird to talk about in 1-on-1s.
Out of all the assessments I've taken - and there have been more than a few - the enneagram makes the most sense to me in understanding myself and others.
Can’t wait to see more! The enneagram really helped me, as a manager, understand some of the differences everyone has and that the things that fuel me can drain someone else. You were a great mentor on the enneagram during our time at BombBomb. Excited to hear more.
Love it and can’t wait.
Can’t wait for this!
Absolutely brilliant! You are the best!
This is what I need right now!
