Enneagram Workshops for Executives
Know Your Patterns. Lead Your Team.
A nine-type framework that reveals the operating system behind your best leadership. Most tools describe what you do. The Enneagram clarifies how you do it best, and where you have more available than you’ve used. We use it as the common language for executive teams, the diagnostic lens for individual leaders, and the framework that makes good leaders measurably better.

WHY TANDEMLY
Most Teams Use the Enneagram like a Horoscope. We Use it like an Instrument.
Done right, the Enneagram is the most useful diagnostic tool we’ve found in fifteen years of organizational work. Done wrong, it’s a personality test with extra steps. Three things separate the two.
Diagnostic, Not Decorative
The Enneagram becomes useful the moment it stops describing types and starts revealing motivations. We don't run workshops where people swap which type their friends are. We use it to surface the patterns running your decisions, your conflict, and your team's stuck loops.
Common Language for Hard Conversations
Once your leadership team shares Enneagram fluency, the conversations they've been avoiding get measurably easier. Friction that was personality becomes pattern, and pattern is something a team can actually work with. The argument gets shorter. Curiosity replaces blame.
In Service of the Work, Not as the Work
The Enneagram is one instrument in a larger practice. We integrate it with executive coaching, leadership retreats, offsites, and manager development programs. Insight without application fades by Monday. Application gives the framework somewhere to live.
WHEN TEAMS CALL US
The Moment a Personality Framework Becomes a Leadership Tool
If any of these read like the moment you’re in, the discovery call is short and the diagnosis is usually quick.
01
The Same Conflict Keeps Recurring
Different topic every quarter, same fight underneath. The pattern is type-coded, not topic-coded, and the team is rebuilding the argument from scratch every time without knowing why.
02
Communication Breaks Down at the Top
Your leadership team is fluent in business and illiterate in each other. The friction reads as personality. It's actually pattern, and the Enneagram makes that distinction concrete enough to act on.
03
A New Senior Leader is Landing
The team's working dynamics need to absorb the new exec, not just the org chart. An Enneagram session in the first ninety days is how leadership teams onboard each other, properly, before bad patterns calcify.
04
You Want Depth without Exposure
Your team needs to understand each other better. They are not going to do trust falls. The Enneagram gives executives a framework they can engage with intellectually first, emotionally second.
05
An Individual Leader is Stuck
A high performer keeps hitting the same ceiling. The Enneagram surfaces the type-driven pattern that's running them in the rooms where they cost themselves the most, and gives them something specific to work with.
06
You Want a Tool that Pairs with the Rest
You already run offsites, executive coaching, or manager training. The Enneagram is the connective layer that makes all of them more durable, and turns the language across them into one shared vocabulary.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Industry Agnostic. With Clear Proclivities.
The fundamental issues read the same across industries: misaligned goals, leadership style clashes, predictable growing pains at predictable revenue thresholds. But we’ve earned particular fluency in four. Less ramp-up, faster diagnosis, fewer assumptions to unwind.
Beauty & Consumer Packaged Goods
DTC · Retail · Professional B2B
From the household-name brand with a thirty-year founder to the indie label spanning DTC, retail, and professional B2B channels. We help beauty and CPG executives navigate the operating-model complexity when direct sales, retail, and professional channels all have to coexist, the retention pressure of uncertain times, and the founder succession everyone has been postponing.
Higher Education & Academia
Universities · Medical Schools · Foundations
Publicly run universities, medical schools, and the foundations that fund them. The egos, politics, and governance complexity of academic leadership are uniquely difficult, and uniquely familiar to us. Recent partners include foundation-funded research fellowships and graduate medical education programs.
Healthcare Tech
Provider Systems · Health Tech · Biotech
The innovation pace is brutal and the leadership transitions are constant. We work with healthcare and healthcare-tech executives navigating scaling crises, succession questions, and the cultural integration that comes with acquisition or rapid growth. Confidentiality is structural, not negotiated.
Architecture & Construction
Founder-Led Firms · REITs · Specialty Builders
Founder-led firms with deep technical expertise and the predictable growing pains that come with mid-market scale. Complex stakeholder dynamics, highly specialized practices, and leadership conversations that needed a facilitator long before they got one.
THE NINE EXECUTIVE LENSES
Every Type Leads. Each One Leads Differently.
A glance at how the framework reads in a leadership context. These descriptions aren’t flattering or unflattering. They’re accurate, and accuracy is the point.
TYPE 01
The Reformer
Holds the team to the standard. At their edge: rigid, self-critical, unable to delegate without rewriting.
TYPE 02
The Helper
The connective tissue of the org. At their edge: avoids hard feedback, conflates being needed with leading.
TYPE 03
The Achiever
The reason the quarter closed. At their edge: image-driven, conflict-avoidant in service of optics.
TYPE 04
The Individualist
Sees what the org is missing. At their edge: moody, self-referencing, mistakes feeling for strategy.
TYPE 04
The Individualist
Sees what the org is missing. At their edge: moody, self-referencing, mistakes feeling for strategy.
TYPE 05
The Investigator
The strategist nobody beats on logic. At their edge: hoards information, withholds, retreats from the room.
TYPE 07
The Enthusiast
Generates the next opportunity, the next pivot. At their edge: scattered, allergic to hard finishes.
TYPE 08
The Challenger
The founder energy that built the company. At their edge: dominating, overrides quieter signal in the room.
TYPE 09
The Peacemaker
The diplomat who keeps the org whole. At their edge: avoids the call, conflates harmony with progress.
HOW IT WORKS
Four Steps from Intake to Integration
DIAGNOSE
Discovery Call
A one-hour conversation where we listen for what the team is actually trying to solve. The Enneagram is rarely the goal. It's the instrument we reach for to get to one.
PROFILE
Validated Assessment
A research-backed instrument identifies each participant's dominant type, wing, and instinctual subtype. Sixty minutes, completed before we meet. Reports in your inbox before the workshop.
FACILITATE
In the Room with You
A live workshop where the report becomes recognizable. Senior facilitators bring you through it. The moment of "that's exactly what I do" is the unlock. Fluency builds over the course of the day.
INTEGRATE
Ongoing Application Coaching
Insight without application fades. We stay close for as long as the work requires, often pairing the workshop with executive coaching for one or two leaders who recognized themselves most clearly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a Tandemly Enneagram workshop?
A Tandemly Enneagram workshop is a highly interactive team experience where participants explore each of the nine Enneagram types, learn how different types communicate and respond under pressure, and discover practical strategies for working more effectively with colleagues of different types. Workshops move from self-awareness (intrapersonal) to one-on-one dynamics (interpersonal) to whole-team patterns.
Do all team members need to complete the Enneagram assessment before the workshop?
For the best experience, Tandemly recommends that all participants complete the iEQ9 Enneagram assessment before the team workshop. This allows each person to arrive knowing their own type, making the workshop content more personally resonant and the team dynamics discussion more specific and actionable. Pre-workshop individual debriefs can also be arranged.
How does the Enneagram workshop improve team communication?
The Enneagram workshop gives teams a shared language for understanding why people react, communicate, and prioritize differently. By mapping each team member’s type, the workshop reveals common friction points, such as why a Type 3 and a Type 9 might clash on urgency, and provides concrete strategies for navigating those differences with empathy and efficiency, reducing misunderstandings and interpersonal conflict.
How large or small can a team be for a Tandemly Enneagram workshop?
Tandemly Enneagram workshops are designed to be effective for teams of varying sizes. Smaller teams of 4–10 allow for deep, personal exploration of each type’s dynamic. Larger teams can be accommodated with facilitation techniques that keep the experience engaging and personal. Contact Tandemly to discuss format options for your specific team size.
What is the difference between a Tandemly Enneagram debrief and an Enneagram workshop?
An Enneagram debrief is a one-on-one or two-person session focused on deeply understanding an individual’s results and how their type shows up in their work and relationships. An Enneagram workshop is a group experience focused on building team-level understanding and shared strategies. Tandemly often recommends pairing individual debriefs with the team workshop for maximum impact.
