More About the Enneagram
The Enneagram (pronounced "ANY-uh-gram") is a model for identifying nine distinct patterns of habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The points represent a specific personality strategy and the lines represent the interrelationship of those strategies.
More than identifying only strengths or surface-level behaviors, it gives surprisingly accurate and useful insights into the stories we're telling ourselves, the root motives behind behaviors, and charts a specific path for each type for growth and performance improvement..
At Enneagram MBA we use the Awareness to Action methodology. It's a simple but extremely effective model for growth that tailored for the business world.
Companies that have already brought Enneagram MBA to their teams:
"Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.”

A Chess Approach to Team-Building
In his Harvard Business Review article, "What Great Managers Do," author Marc Buckingham says that average managers play checkers, while great managers play chess.
The difference?
In checkers, all the pieces are the same and move in the same way; they are interchangeable.
Sure, you need to plan and coordinate their movements, but they all move at the same pace, on parallel paths.
In chess, each type of piece moves in a different way, and you can’t play if you don’t know how each piece moves. More important, you won’t win if you don’t think carefully about how you move the pieces.
The intention of Dream Team Academy™ is to use the Enneagram to help you and your team better understand each other and their unique strengths and preferences.

Top Teamwork Challenges
What Employers Are Facing
According to Patrick Lencioni, renowned expert in team-building and leadership and author of “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" there are core issues that can hold teams back:
- Absence of Trust: Without trust, team members may conceal their weaknesses, mistakes, and concerns from each other, hindering collaboration and preventing the team from working effectively.
- Fear of Conflict: Conflict is an inevitable part of any team, but healthy conflict that focuses on issues and ideas can lead to better decisions and stronger relationships.
- Lack of Commitment: To address this dysfunction, team members need to engage in robust discussions, clarify goals and expectations, and agree on clear action plans.
- Avoidance of Accountability: Team members need to be clear about their roles and responsibilities, set clear expectations, and understand the impact of their actions on others, whether intended or not.
- Inattention to Results: When individuals prioritize their own interests over the team's results, the team cannot achieve its goals.
Bottom line: Teams that communicate well, collaborate effectively, and share accountability tend to outperform those that don’t. Dysfunctional teams, on the other hand, can lead to poor communication, lack of trust, low engagement, and ultimately, failure.

How The Enneagram & EQ Helps
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to recognize and control one's own emotions as well as comprehend the emotions of others.
It's a skill that builds better working relationships, creates value in roles, and gives team members confidence to work with others, resolve issues, pioneer new ideas, and drive them and your organization towards success.
Although, it doesn't come natural (or easy!) for most of us - it's a skill that has to be built and nurtured.
The Enneagram is a tool for helping teams grow in their EQ, allowing them to:
- Improve communication skills
- Reduce stress
- Increase frustration tolerance
- React to constructive criticism
- Conquer doubts, and insecurities
-
Navigate social situations smoothly
-
Create a positive environment
- Fosters better leadership
- Deal with change and uncertainty
- Increase sense of accountability
- Recognize the customer’s emotions without taking them personally
Emotional intelligence in the workplace begins from the inside out with each individual. It involves team members recognizing various aspects of their feelings and emotions and taking the time to work on the elements of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. Enneagram MBA's Dream Team Academy™ gives your team the guidance to grow and measure success in these areas.
