Rationale

Leadership excellence is one of the most critical challenges facing organizations today. Companies across the globe are in leadership succession crises, trying to find and/or develop sufficient leadership talent.

Why is it so difficult to find great leaders?

One reason is that an individual’s prior leadership skills may not transfer to a new leadership position, company, or industry.

Another factor involves the increasing demands placed on today’s leaders.

However, perhaps the biggest reason for the leadership shortage today is that we are not even sure what truly great leadership is, much less how to develop it.

The most helpful clue about what makes an excellent leader comes from the field of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). An individual’s EQ is the strongest predictor of that person’s leadership success, consistently outranking both traditional IQ and on-the-job experience.

EQ is made up of two factors: intrapersonal intelligence, or the ability to know and accept oneself and to become self-managing and self-motivating, and interpersonal intelligence, or the ability to interact effectively with other people. The Enneagram is the most powerful and insightful tool available to help you develop your EQ.

The Enneagram helps leaders to understand and accept themselves at a very deep level, and that it is a profound tool for developing their leadership capabilities.

Our leadership programs focus on today’s most important leadership competencies and integrate them with the wisdom and insights of the Enneagram. Excellent leaders need to be skilled in the following seven core competency areas:

• Drive for Results
  
• Strive for Self-Mastery
  
• Know the Business : Think and Act Strategically
  
• Become an Excellent Communicator
  
• Lead High-Performing Teams
