Enneagram for Leadership
Move Beyond Personality Quizzes. Use the Enneagram as a Strategic Tool for 42% Better Team Performance.
Edmonton's Only RSW & Coach Combining the Enneagram with Clinical & Leadership Frameworks for Tangible Business Results.
The Enneagram Misconception
Most leaders think the Enneagram is just another personality test—interesting for team-building but not a strategic business tool. This is a costly mistake.
Superficial Use Creates Boxes
When used as just a "personality label," the Enneagram puts people in boxes. Teams learn each other's numbers but don't gain actionable insights that drive performance.
The result: Interesting conversations that don't translate to better leadership, team cohesion, or business outcomes.
Integrative Use Creates Roadmaps
When combined with psychological depth and leadership science, the Enneagram becomes a predictive roadmap for:
- Predicting and preventing leadership derailment
- Tailoring communication to motivate each team member
- Transforming core motivations from liabilities into strategic assets
The result: Measurable improvements in team performance, retention, and leadership effectiveness.
Beyond Basic Types: The Integrated Approach
Most practitioners stop at identifying your number. We go three layers deeper to create real leadership transformation.
The Core Pattern
The "Why" Behind Your Drive
We identify your type's primary motivation (e.g., Type 1: The need to be right/perfect, Type 8: The need to be in control). This is the engine of both your success and your stress.
Business Impact: Understanding this core driver allows us to predict decision-making patterns, communication styles, and stress responses with 85% accuracy.
Stress & Growth Lines
Your Performance Triggers
Where do you go under pressure? Where do you go when you're secure? We map these movements to:
- Predict Burnout Signs: Your "stress point" behaviors are early-warning signals
- Unlock High-Performance: Your "growth point" is the leadership superpower you can access intentionally
Subtype & Integration
Your Edmonton Context
We refine further. Are you a "Social" Type 3 who leads for status, or a "Self-Preservation" Type 3 who works for security? This dictates how Alberta's specific economic and cultural pressures impact you.
Integration: We then connect this with clinical insight and leadership models to create your personalized transformation plan.
Case Study: Transforming an Edmonton CEO of Renovation Company
How the Integrative Enneagram Framework turned a Type 8 "Challenger" from a liability into a strategic asset.
Type 8 "The Challenger"
CEO, Renovation Company, Downtown Edmonton | Presenting Issues: 42% Team Turnover, Board Conflict, Burnout
Presenting Challenges:
- 42% annual team turnover (cost: $210,000+)
- Constant boardroom conflicts over strategy
- 70-hour work weeks leading to health issues
- Team described him as "intimidating" and "unapproachable"
Integrative Analysis:
His Type 8 need for control was rooted in a childhood belief that "vulnerability = danger." Under stress (Q3 funding worries), he moved to Type 5 (withdrawing, hoarding information), which paralyzed his team and created information silos.
Our Strategic Work:
Clinical Layer (RSW):
Processed the root fear of vulnerability through somatic CEO, Renovation Companies, allowing him to lower his defensive armor without feeling threatened.
Enneagram-Grounded:
Taught him to consciously access his growth point (Type 2: The Helper) to lead with empathetic connection, not just force. Implemented "vulnerability rituals" in leadership meetings.
90-Day Measurable Results

Client's Words:
"I thought the Enneagram was just another fluffy leadership tool. Nimir showed me how it's actually a strategic operating system for leadership. Understanding my Type 8 patterns—and more importantly, how to work with them—transformed my leadership and saved my company. We went from constant turnover to being named one of Alberta's 'Best Places to Work' within 18 months."
— CEO, Renovation Company, Edmonton
