WHY TANDEMLY
A Common Language for How People Work
We often assume others think, act, and feel the way we do. They do not. The Enneagram maps how each person sees the world, what they notice first, and why two people can behave the same way for completely different reasons. Three things make it useful at work.
A Common Language
It gives your team words for their differences in a way that inspires curiosity rather than friction or blame.
Diagnostic, Not a Horoscope
We use a validated instrument, the Integrative Enneagram, not a parlor trick. The insight is specific and actionable.
Intrapersonal to Team
We start with the individual, move to the one-to-one relationship, and finish with the whole team dynamic.
How we coach
Three Ways to Put the Enneagram to Work
Pick the format that fits where you and your team are today. Many engagements begin with individual debriefs and grow from there.
01
Individual Enneagram Debriefs
Based on the detailed Integrative Enneagram Solutions assessment, you receive a narrative report and a debrief on your raw scores. Understand yourself and how others perceive you in an eerily insightful process.
02
Relational Enneagram Debriefs
Whether you are a co-founder, colleague, or manager, understand the strengths, pitfalls, and solutions to elevate a key relationship. It starts with individual debriefs followed by a joint session.
03
Team Enneagram Workshops
Every team has an Enneagram style that shapes its strategy, decisions, and interactions. We provide a team report and workshop that identifies strengths and predictable pitfalls for peak team performance.
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.
HOW IT WORKS
Four Steps from Discovery Call to Operating Cadence
Assess
Validated Assessment
Each person completes the Integrative Enneagram assessment, a validated instrument that produces a detailed, personal report.
Debrief
Individual Narrative
A one-to-one debrief on the report and raw scores, so the insight lands as something specific and usable rather than a label.
Facilitate
Relational or Team Session
We bring the insight into the relationship or the whole team, surfacing strengths and predictable pitfalls in the open.
Integrate
Ongoing Application
We help the language become part of how your team works, so curiosity replaces friction long after the session ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Enneagram and how does Tandemly use it in the workplace?
The Enneagram is a personality framework describing nine distinct types, each with its own core motivations, communication patterns, and stress responses. Tandemly uses the Enneagram to help individuals and teams understand why people behave differently under the same circumstances, reducing conflict, improving communication, and helping leaders bring out the best in each person on their team.
What Enneagram assessment tool does Tandemly use?
Tandemly uses the Integrative Enneagram Solutions (iEQ9) assessment, one of the most validated and detailed Enneagram tools available. Unlike basic online quizzes, the iEQ9 produces a comprehensive narrative report based on raw scores across all nine types, providing a nuanced and accurate picture of personality, not just a single label.
What does an Enneagram debrief with Tandemly involve?
After completing the iEQ9 assessment, clients receive a detailed narrative report and a one-on-one debrief session with a certified Tandemly practitioner. The session explores your primary type, wing influences, instinctual variants, and centers of expression, helping you understand both your strengths and your blind spots, and how you are likely perceived by others at work.
Can the Enneagram be used for pairs or co-founder relationships?
Yes. Tandemly offers Enneagram debriefs for two-person relationships, whether co-founders, manager-direct report pairs, or key colleagues. The process begins with individual debriefs for each person, followed by a joint session that maps the dynamic between the two types, highlights friction points, and provides practical strategies to elevate the working relationship.
Is Tandemly certified to deliver Enneagram assessments?
Yes. Tandemly holds Integrative Enneagram (iEQ9) practitioner certification, qualifying them to administer the assessment, interpret results, and facilitate individual and group debriefs. This certification ensures that Enneagram work is delivered with the depth, accuracy, and ethical care required for it to have real and lasting impact on individuals and teams.
