Powerful Keys To Effective Leadership

– Enneagram: Bring out the Best in Yourself and Your Team

Enneagram is one of the most powerful tools for understanding ourselves and others so as a leader you cannot afford to ignore it.

It helps us gain a deeper understanding of human personality and differences between 9 Enneagram types. Thanks to it, you’ll learn about your true inner self, your inborn strengths and weaknesses, innate communication and decision making styles.

In the same time, you’ll find a deeper level of understanding and compassion for each member of your team. You’ll be able to see the world from their perspective, recognize their unconscious modus of operandi and learn how not to take their behaviour personally.

As a result, you’ll become more effective in motivating, engaging and leading each and every member of your team. You’ll be equipped with practical tools to grow, develop and bring the best out of yourself and of those around you. You’ll become the leader others listen to, look up to and eagerly follow.
