Leader Personality

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is essentially a system of nine personality types, internationally recognised as a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and the people in our lives. The insights gained from individuals’ personality types provides a map to personal development through self-discovery and greater personal awareness. It is further a crucial source of data for relationship building, conflict resolution and the improvement of team dynamics.

The Enneagram is a Personality Profiling tool which provides deep insights into the leader’s personal and leadership style, what is required to take their functioning to the next level, and how to achieve greater integration personally and professionally by balancing their personality traits. For profiling, please book a session with one of our leadership coaches on MPC.

“The Enneagram is not about putting people in a box, but rather getting you away from your limitations.”

“Your personality type does remain the same throughout your life, however at certain times, the traits may become stronger or more relaxed.”

“We do not see the world as it is; we see the world as we are.”

“The Enneagram is meant to be a starting point to your development journey; once you understand where you typically orientate from, then you can work on traits that don’t serve you…”

“As a leader, our personality type determines what is important to us, and what allows us to function optimally.”

“Once we understand the personality types of each other, we have a better sense of what gifts and strengths each brings to a task/ situation.”
