As a Founder/CEO, you're no stranger to navigating critical projects that suddenly veer off course. At Ninety, we harness the Enneagram, utilizing the PRINT Survey to deeply understand the motivational drivers and collaborative styles of our team members. This clarity allows us to lead with precision by tailoring our approach to each person’s strengths, fostering a culture of empathy and strategic thinking. This approach does more than just salvage projects; it propels our teams beyond their goals, and most importantly, it reinforces the core value of “mattering” — ensuring every individual feels valued and pivotal to our collective success. 

9 Ways We Seek to Matter

Perspectives

"I thought that this system that had been so helpful to me on a personal level might be useful to this company on a professional level, so I immediately started looking for an Enneagram trainer. The Enneagram became a core part of the company’s culture, and when I left six years later, his legacy was a complete reversal of the company’s fortunes. When I left, the company had grown to over a billion euros a year in revenue and with a 100 million euro annual profit. This wasn’t just due to the Enneagram, but the Enneagram certainly played a role in the turnaround." 

Takeaway: Incorporating the Enneagram into your company's foundation can be a game-changer, sparking significant growth and boosting profits. It’s not just about personal advancement; it’s a strategic move that enhances team dynamics, improves communication, and fosters a culture of understanding

"Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person — not just an employee — are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability."

Takeaway: At the core of every successful business are its people. Learn what motivates each of your team members by leveraging tools like the Enneagram and PRINT Survey. This approach enhances productivity and fulfillment, fostering a culture where employee well-being directly leads to customer satisfaction and profitability. This potent strategy emphasizes the value of truly knowing and empowering your team.

Integrating the Enneagram (we love the PRINT Survey) into your leadership framework is about more than self-discovery. It’s a strategic overhaul that redefines how your teams work together, facilitating a culture where challenges are met with ownership and success is shared — a process that deeply embeds the value of "mattering" in both personal and team development. By uncovering and aligning everyone’s motivations with our company's goals, we create a leadership style that combines empathy with effectiveness. This approach not only maximizes individual and collective potential but also ensures that every effort contributes meaningfully to the organization's success.
