Leverage Your Leadership Style: Enneagram Type 8
November 30, 2023
by S'Marie Young

No matter which of the nine Enneagram Types you are, you can be a better person and leader by becoming more self aware of the habitual ways you think, feel and act that cover up your real strength and beauty. 

As you release what is not working, and not yours anyway, watch what emerges.

If you are a Type 8, a robust life energy force gets tamped down by a fear of vulnerability and loss of innocence. In self-protection and constriction, boldness and magnanimity become overbearing and controlling and truth is replaced by an attitude of my way or the highway.

When you face the pain, fears and trauma life brought you, your heart opens and it is huge and full of innocence.

8’s are fierce protectors of those they love, and those who have suffered injustice. Powerful life energy force gets channeled into creating big results. As you feel more compassionate and kinder, self-worth is restored and you truly love yourself and others.

Dr. Masha Petrova PhD, CEO of Nullspace, a software engineering startup company sat down with me recently to share her journey identifying as a Type 8 personality, how her passion and drive have helped her accomplish her goals and dreams, while overcoming the message to contain her energy in the bias she experienced against powerful women.
