Karl Hebenstreit on Applying the Enneagram to Your Business and Interoffice Communication

Erik Fisher speaks with Karl Hebenstreit about his book, The How and Why: Taking Care of Business with the Enneagram.

This week I’m excited to welcome Karl Hebenstreit for a chat about his book, The How and Why: Taking Care of Business with the Enneagram. Karl is a certified executive coach, leadership and organization development consultant, author, and international speaker. His 25+ year career spans the areas of HR and OD in the biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, life sciences, healthcare, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, professional services, high-tech, and real estate services industries, having worked at Merck, Bellcore, AT&T, Lee Hecht Harrison, Cushman & Wakefield, Kaiser Permanente, EMC2, Bio-Rad Laboratories, and Genentech/Roche. Karl holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from Alliant International University. 

Together, we'll explore how the Enneagram provides a deeper, more nuanced look into our psyches compared to other personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs or DISC, and why knowing your Enneagram subtype can revolutionize communication and collaboration within your team. We'll delve into the synergy between your instinctual behaviors and core type, uncover how the Enneagram's focus on motivation helps us navigate workplace dynamics, and highlight the practical benefits of this wisdom for everyday interactions. From the allure of the assertive triad's communication preferences to the significance of accommodating each person’s unique style through the 'platinum rule,' our discussion is packed with actionable insights. This is a great episode for anyone eager to learn more about implementing Enneagram principles in their professional lives but are not clear on where to start.
