Psychological Safety is one of the most important elements in a workplace culture that sets up highly effective, diverse teams to come up with creative solutions that efficiently serve the mandate, values and goals of the organisation. It is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.

• Moving from Conflict to Collaboration

  Every team will get access to a customised Enneagram report highlighting the different areas of strength and potential areas of friction. The strain profile of the team is also measured and the data provided. Individual conflict styles are unpacked and tools get explored on how to move the team into more collaborative practices. Here is where conflict is reframed as a driver for performance rather than a barrier.

• Building Trust

  The Enneagram is broadly known for its ability to facilitate deeper levels of psychological safely. By tapping into and understanding the team member’s core motivations and sub-type workings, more compassion is generated. In a world that’s more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous than what it’s ever been the need for high levels of trust becomes the glue that bonds any team. With high levels of team coherency comes grit and the ability to keep performing during stages of change and challenge.

• Harnessing Diversity

  Diverse teams have higher team intelligence than homogenous teams because they are able to make broader connections. They innovate, trouble shoot and strategise more effectively because of their flatter structures that give them access to more ideas and solutions than for example more hierarchical structured teams. By creating opportunities for individuals on the team to grow in their self-awareness, differences are seen as strengths and necessary perspectives that contribute to the solutions needed to overcome those unique challenges faced by any given organisation.
