Eight is Great: An Enneagram Exploration

Enneagram type 8s - The Leader - self-confident, decisive, and direct - make strong, effective decision-makers. They can also be perceived as overbearing, intimidating, and confrontational...making them difficult bosses and colleagues. On this episode of The Behaviorist, Work Wisdom’s Kimberlee Peifer is joined by andculture’s Erin Deller and Burns Mechanical’s Dan Kerr - both 8s - to talk about the fears, motivations, strengths, and challenges that this strong personality type faces within themselves and among others. They’ll discuss the “why” of what 8s do and how learning more about The Enneagram and their driving emotions and fears has broadened their self-awareness towards eureka moments of positive change. How can 8s redirect their passion for action to create space for others and grow as empathetic, patient communicators? What should others know about 8s to help them reach higher levels of behavior and thinking?
