Enneagram type 8’s - The Leader - are self-confident, decisive, and direct - they 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 8’s - to talk about the fears, motivations, strengths, and challenges that this strong personality type face within themselves and among others. They’ll discuss the “why” of what 8’s 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 8’s redirect their passion for action to create space for others and grow as empathetic, patient communicators? What should others know about 8’s to help them reach towards higher levels of behavior and thinking?
