#42: Ian Cron—Can the Enneagram Make You a More Effective Leader?
The better we understand people, the better leaders we'll be.
And one of the best tools for understanding yourself and those around you is the Enneagram.
If you haven't encountered it before, the Enneagram is simply an ancient personality framework. There are nine core types, and we tend to gravitate toward one of them in our youth as a way of coping with the world.
This week on the Building a StoryBrand podcast, Donald Miller talks with Enneagram expert Ian Cron about how to use this powerful framework to make both yourself and your business healthier.
They unpack each of nine personality types and then discuss how understanding the Enneagram can help you become a stronger, more empathetic leader.
