One of the biggest challenges for new managers is understanding what motivates their team members.

Likely, new managers have a good idea of what motivates themselves, and they may project their own motivation onto others. That strategy may or may not work. Some individuals may have completely different motivations, and a new manager may struggle to understand those differences.

The Enneagram is a tool that describes nine distinct personality styles, each with a distinct - and distinctly different - motivation. By knowing the Enneagram style of team members, and by understanding each person’s intrinsic motivation, the aspiring leader can dramatically increase team engagement.

Talk Highlights
• Enneagram Quiz—participants assess their Enneagram dynamics
• Enneagram Overview—review of the nine Enneagram styles
• Focus on application of Enneagram to understanding motivations
• Appreciate the value of Enneagram style diversity in teamwork

BIO: Matt Schlegel

As a systems thinker, Matt Schlegel has always been fascinated by team dynamics and what makes some teams successful while others fail.

Matt's degrees in general engineering from Harvey Mudd College and electrical engineering from the University of California San Diego provided formal training in problem solving, especially in solving technical and engineering problems. As he worked on bigger projects, Matt realized that successful problem solving was contingent more on effective teamwork than technical prowess.

Matt began studying the Enneagram in 2002 and started applying it in corporate settings in 2003. In 2004, he began developing the tools that Schlegel Consulting (www.evolutionaryteams.com) now uses to optimize team-based problem solving for innovative companies. His realization that the Enneagram can be applied to the analysis of teams as well as individuals led to the tools and strategies for work-team effectiveness described in his book, Teamwork 9.0.
