WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?

Ring Results helps leaders and teams solve complex business issues by tapping into the power of personality insight based on the Enneagram personality system.  Knowing what makes you and your  team “tick” when working together is guaranteed to accelerate your business success.

The Enneagram is a practical and remarkably accurate personality model that provides a sense-making map to better understanding of ourselves and others.  It is a system comprised of 9 personality types along with numerous layers of insight far exceeding what most other assessments provide.

Once discovering the primary type you most resonate with, you will gain new insight into the core motivations driving your behaviour and interactions.  Understanding your Enneagram personality type goes beyond putting you in a box, and instead helps you see the box from which you see the world.  It helps you explore deeper layers of self awareness to understand how your natural tendencies impact your business and relationships, and how to get off “auto-pilot” when it really matters.

The Enneagram is a powerful resource when integrated with team development.  This intelligent insight helps to remove road blocks, build trust, and develop ways to leverage the diversity of thought and talent embedded in your team.  Enneagram insight fosters engagement and buy-in while nurturing constructive team dynamics that drive better team performance.

On quantitative measures, teams, business units, and companies using the Enneagram are scoring significantly higher on multiple measures on company surveys, including customer satisfaction.

On financial measures, business units are showing gains in financial results; sales are rising by double digits; companies are retaining key leaders; and in one company, “increased trust and communication saved a $1M error.”

On the professional level, leaders are scoring higher on 360º surveys, and there are multiple instances where leaders using the Enneagram for their development have been promoted 2-3 levels higher within very short time periods.

Bonus: Clients report that once employees learn the Enneagram, they want more and more. They share it with friends, take it with them to new companies, and bring it home: “At company events, spouses talk about how it has helped their family.”
